Quality Control

Our Phage Phi29 Protein P1 is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including SDS-PAGE, HPLC, and functional activity assays where applicable. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific biological activity is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. For short-term use, aliquots may be stored at 2-8°C.
