  507

• Form:

  Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

• Reconstitution:

  It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Rat bFGF in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

• Function:

  Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as potent mitogen in vitro. Can induce angiogenesis.

• Shipping Conditions:

  Available

• Storage Conditions:

  Lyophilized Rat bFGF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Rat FGF-2 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
