Question 5

What is X-GAL used for?

Accepted Answer

X-GAL (BCIG) is a chromogenic substrate for β-galactosidase, yielding an insoluble blue precipitate upon enzymatic cleavage. It is extensively used in molecular biology for both in vitro assays and in vivo staining applications, such as lacZ reporter gene detection in histology and microbiology.

Question 6

How long will it take to receive this product if it’s custom made?

Accepted Answer

Lead times depend on the product type: custom polyclonal antibodies typically take 12-14 weeks, monoclonal antibodies 15-17 weeks, made-to-order recombinant proteins 4-8 weeks, and made-to-order recombinant antibodies 6-8 weeks. These are estimates and may shift due to production delays.

Question 7

What is the recommended dilution for this antibody?

Accepted Answer

A recommended dilution range for each validated application is provided on the datasheet, but optimal dilution should be titrated for your specific experimental system, sample type, and detection method.

Question 8

What is the recommended storage temperature after reconstitution?

Accepted Answer

Post-reconstitution storage guidance is listed on the datasheet, typically requiring aliquoting and storage at -20°C or -80°C to preserve activity.
