Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Streptavidin HRP is a useful second-step reagent for labeling a biotinylated primary antibody for detection by ELISA (with an appropriate substrate system). Investigators are encouraged to titrate this reagent, with a suggested starting dilution of 1:1000.
Warning: Streptavidin HRP contains 0.004% (w/w) of a CMIT/MIT mixture (3:1), which is a mixture of: 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one [EC No 247-500-7] and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one [EC No 220-239-6] (3:1).
Hazard statements

Precautionary statements
Wear protective gloves / eye protection.
Wear protective clothing.
Avoid breathing mist/vapours/spray.
If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water.
Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.

Streptavidin is a non-glycosylated protein that is prepared chromatographically from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii. Streptavidin
homotetramers have a particularly high, non-covalent binding affinity for biotin. When conjugated with fluorochromes, streptavidin has been
widely used with biotin-conjugated antibodies and other biotinylated specific-binding molecules (eg, recombinant proteins and lectins) to stain
cells and tissues for subsequent multiparameter analysis by flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and imaging. Likewise, when conjugated
with an enzyme (eg, Horseradish Peroxidase or Alkaline Phosphatase) and coupled with a colorimetric or luminescent substrate development
system, streptavidin has found widespread use along with biotinylated antibodies in a number of applications including Western blot, ELISA,
ELISPOT, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry.
