Azide-free anti-bovine primary antibodies eliminate sodium azide preservative to support live-cell and functional biological applications.

These formulations maintain antibody stability without chemical stabilizers, enabling compatibility with conjugation workflows and cell-based experimental systems.

Purpose and Benefits

Sodium azide is commonly used as a preservative but can interfere with biological activity in live systems and downstream labeling reactions.

• Live-cell compatibility: Enables use in functional assays without cytotoxic effects.
• Conjugation-ready: Suitable for fluorophore, enzyme, and nanoparticle labeling.
• Reduced background: High purity improves signal quality in sensitive detection systems.

Formulation Characteristics

• Supplied in PBS buffer, typically at 0.5–2 mg/mL.
• Available in liquid or lyophilized formats.
• Low endotoxin content for sensitive biological applications.
• Free from BSA and glycerol carriers.

Stability and Storage

• Liquid formulations remain stable for 6–12 months at 4°C.
• Lyophilized forms remain stable for more than 2 years at -20°C.
• Recommended aliquoting to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

Key Applications

• Live-cell flow cytometry without fixation-induced toxicity.
• Functional blocking and neutralization assays.
• Custom conjugation with dyes, enzymes, and nanoparticles.
• Cell proliferation and cytotoxicity studies.
