Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 °C. Stable for 12 months at -20 °C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 °C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Recognizes fetal cardiac actin. Represents an excellent marker for cardiac tissue; it discriminates fetal (cardiac) a-actin from all other actin isoforms. Shows no crossreaction with other actin isoforms present in skeletal and smooth muscle, provided that stringent experimental conditions have been applied.
