Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin beta Reference standard

• Cat.No.: CGB-189H
• Product Overview: This consists of a batch of micro-ampoules containing highly purified Beta Subunit human chorionic gonadotrophic (hCG) for radioiodination. The purification and characterization of this batch of hCG-β is described by Canfield and Ross (1976).

Specification

• Species: Human
• Notes: This preparation is not for administration to humans. The preparation contains material of human origin, and either the final product or the source materials, from which it is derived, have been tested and found negative for HBsAg, anti-HIV and HCV RNA.
