Product Notes
The AFP afp (Catalog #AAA634945) is a Protein produced from Human cord serum and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Suitable in immunological protocols or for use as a control or standard. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AFP afp for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "a-Fetoprotein 60+%, Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
