Handling
Please note that this product is supplied as a lyophilized solid and may be very hard to visualize.
Amyloid beta peptides are prone to aggregation and as such, there are a variety of published methods for handling amyloid beta peptides.
We recommend using NH4OH with this product - you should use 1.0% NH4OH as the solvent followed by buffer (for example 1X PBS).
Add 1.0% NH4OH directly to the lyophilized peptide (~70-80 μl for 1mg of peptide). Do not store the peptide in 1.0% NH4OH.
Immediately dilute your solution to a concentration of ~1mg/mL or less your buffer (e.g 1X PBS, water or an alternative buffer).
Vortex gently to mix (less than 1 minute).
Note: This method may not completely remove pre-aggregates. Vortexing may encourage seeding and further aggregation of the peptide.
