 transport of antibodies Hi, I have a general question about sending antibodies. Normally Ab are send in a form of powder, then they can be send via a normal post. How it is with Ab when they are already diluted in water? Should they be send on ice then? thanks, maria        |

| Re: transport of antibodies Dear Maria, hi and welcome!  For antibody transport and delivery, usually antibodies are sent stored frozen in dry ice. Ice would only last a few hours... If you are shipping, all express couriers (FedEx, DHL, TNT, UPS) usually won't accept such a shipment with dry ice inside - check just in case). EIther way you can ship dry ice by air cargo if you cant... cheers! |

| Re: transport of antibodies . On the other hand you could use refrigerated ice packs (Blue Ice) packs which keep the package around 4 C... without freezing. |

| Re: transport of antibodies If all else fails.. you could consider preparing a glycerol stock of the antibody and send it with ice packs.. but i would think freeze drying it would be a better choice..

| Re: transport of antibodies Hi! Freeze Drying of antibodies it is not a good idea! A great loss of activity occur. 20% glycerol NAP buffer(50 mM NAp, 100mM borate 150mM NaCl) antibody concentration 5 better 10mg\ml) / after shipping at 4 C , immediately aliquote and freeze ( Freeze\thaw more than 1 cycle glycerol stocks strongly not recommend
