The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with no additives.
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Greater than 95.0% as determined by RP-HPLC.
The lyophilized Leptin is very soluble in water and most aqueous buffers below and above the isoelectric point.
Lyophilized Leptin although stable at room temperature, should be stored desiccated below -20oC. Reconstituted Leptin is best stored refrigerated at 4oC.
