Product Specifications

Product Name Alternative

NPPB||Natriuretic Peptide Precursor B||BNP||B-type Natriuretic Peptide.

Purification

Greater than 95.0% as determined by RP-HPLC.

Components

The protein was lyophilized without additives.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized B-type Natriuretic Peptide although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution B-type Natriuretic Peptide should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized B-type Natriuretic Peptide in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
