Enhances neurite outgrowth of E16-E18 rat embryonic cortical neurons when immobilized at 5-30 µg/mL on a nitrocellulose-coated microplate.
Solubility & Handling
Solubility overview
To make a stock solution, reconstitute in sterile 18MΩcm water at a concentration > 100μg/ml, which can then be diluted to make a working solution
Handling
Solutions should be made in sterile deionized water (not less than 100 µg/ml). This solution can then be further diluted with other aqueous solutions.
Following reconstitution, solutions may be stored at 4°C and are useable for around 2-7 days and for future use store at -18°C.
For long term storage, a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) should be added to stock solutions. Solutions should be aliquoted into tightly sealed vials for storage at -20°C. Freeze-thaw cycles should be prevented.
