Collagen Type V, Bovine

May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20 °C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 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 anti-Collagen Type V. Reaction with anti-Collagen I, II, III, IV or VI is negligible (typically less than 1% crossreactivity was detected by ELISA).
