Bovine Insulin Reference standard

• Cat.No.: INS-72B

Specification

• Species: Bovine
• Enzyme Unit: ONE INTERNATIONAL UNIT of bovine insulin is the activity contained in 0.03891 mg of the standard for bovine insulin, by definition.
• Usage: The content of an ampoule is variable. Aliquots of insulin crystals should be accurately weighed after allowing the ampoule to equilibrate at room temperature in a desiccator. No attempt should be made to weigh out any portion of the freeze-dried material prior to reconstitution.
• Notes: This preparation is not for administration to humans. The material is of bovine origin. The material is certified to be obtained from animals taken from a closed herd in the female line since 1980, in which no animal has been clinically suspected of having BSE & which has not been fed rations containing ruminant derived protein during that period. As with all materials of biological origin, this preparation should be regarded as potentially hazardous to health. It should be used and discarded according to your own laboratorys safety procedures. Such safety procedures should include the wearing of protective gloves and avoiding the generation of aerosols. Care should be exercised in opening ampoules or vials, to avoid cuts.
• Storage: Unused ampoules should be stored at -20°C. Please note: because of the inherent stability of lyophilized material, Creative Biomart may ship these materials at ambient temperature.
