Active Human Haptoglobin Reference Standard

• Cat.No.: HP-14H

Specification

• Species: Human
• Tag: Non
• Description: Haptoglobin is a positive acute phase protein that binds free hemoglobin and removes it from the circulation to prevent kidney injury, and iron lossfollowing hemolysis. Three major haptoglobinphenotypes are known to exist (Hp 1-1, Hp 2-1,and Hp 2-2). Hp 1-1 is biologically the most effective in binding free hemoglobin and suppressing inflammatory responses associated with free hemoglobin. Hp 2-2 is biologically the least active, and Hp 2-1 is moderately active.
• Form: Liquid
• Bio-activity: The level of Haptoglobin in the serum was quantified using ELISA.
• Usage: For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
• Quality Control Test: Generated from a human serum pool. This lot has been tested by standard laboratory procedures and found to be negative for HIV 1, HIV 2, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C.
• Storage: Stored at -20 °C, 4 °C for less than seven days, frozen for greater than seven days.
• Concentration: 1.31 mg/ml
• Preservative: 0.1% sodium azide
