HMG is produced from a sterile preparation of placental glucoprotein urine
of post-menopausal women.
The hMG is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
Lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution in water containing no
additives.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized hMG in sterile 18MΩ-cm
H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous
solutions.
Stability:
Lyophilized hMG although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be
stored desiccated below -18 C. Upon reconstitution hMG should be stored at 4 C
between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 C. For long term storage it is
recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity:
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Anion-exchange FPLC.
(c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
