HANDLING OF SMALL VOLUMES: This product is supplied in a very small volume (0.1 ml), and great care must be taken when attempting to aliquot and store them. To obtain maximum product retention it is recommended that vials are centrifuged briefly and/or the vials washed out with a minimal quantity of a suitable storage buffer (ie. containing a protein stablizer).
