Awaiting your free antibody choice!
Agrisera collection of antibodies to diatom proteins can be found here. 

• -20°C or -80°C
• +4°C with preservatives like azide (0.02%) or merthiolate
• -20°C with glycerol at a final concentration of 10% or 50% (for affinity purified antibodies)
• -20°C with BSA at final concentration of 0.05-0.5% (for affinity purified antibodies)

More information on what to consider when storing different kinds of antibodies can be found here. 

A known problem is that affinity purified antibodies can precipitate when stored at 4°C. However, such antibodies may still maintain their activity towards a target protein. 

For catalog antibodies, we highly recommend checking the product information sheet, which is always included with the product, and contains proper information about storage conditions. If you have further questions, you can request additional information by contacting us. 

Good luck with your research!
