Mass Spec Analysis	Exhibits correct M.W.
Solubility	Before reconstitution, please allow 25 to 45 minutes for the lyophilized peptide to return to room temperature. Briefly vortex the Eppendorf tube to concentrate all material at the bottom of the tube. Gently open the cap and reconstitute the peptide to the desired concentration by adding a sterile, aqueous solution to the tube. Invert the tube 5 times by hand to ensure a homogeneous solution.
Storage Condition	Store peptide in DRY form at 0-5°C. Do not attempt to weigh out smaller portions. For best results and reproducibility, rehydrate peptide just before use. Do not refreeze any unused portions.
Appearance	This product is very Hydroscopic, and may appear as a white powder or semi clear paste
Content	The contents of this vial have been accurately determined to contain 100µg of NET peptide.
HPLC Analysis	Purity > 96%
