The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with 0.5mg Manntiol and sodium hydroxide 50ug pH-5.5.
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Bivalirudin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Lyophilized Bivalirudin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution Bivalirudin should be stored at 4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18oC.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
