Preparation Note

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). This product is rapidly hydrolyzed in acidic solutions. The half-life at pH 7.48 is between 3.5 min and 10.5 min at 25°C. At pH 12 the half-life is ~6 days at 25°C. No loss of biological activity was observed at pH 9.37 for 48 h, when stored at 0°C.
