Background
Atrazine is a herbicide against pre- and post-emergence broadleaf and grassy weeds. It is a very persistent compound and it has been banned in the EU since 2004. Its main toxic effect is as endocrine disruptor

Source
Sheep immune serum

Immunogen: BSA-atrazine conjugate

Product
Each vial contains 0.1 ml of serum containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Specificity
Immunogen: BSA-atrazine conjugate, Target: Atrazine, CAS no.: 1912-24-9. The specificity of the antibody was determined by measuring the cross-reactivity with a range of compounds in ELISA.

Applications
Depending on conjugate: dilution 1/2,000 . (The titer is defined as the dilution that gives 50 % of the absorbance from the maximum absorbance when tested with ELISA). Suggested concentration to use in ELISA: 1/2,000 from the delivered solution. Plates are coated with 400 ng/ml OVA-conjugated Atrazine. HRP-conjugated anti-sheep IgG as a tracer 1/8,000

Storage
Store at 4 °C or aliquot and store at -20 °C for longer periods. Precautions should be taken upon storage for longer periods. Problems of long . For long storage purposes in solution the addition of sodium azide at 0.02 % is advised with the appropriate precautions of use.
