Molecular Formula
C49H66N10O10S2
Amino Acid Sequence
H-D-Phe-Cys-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-L-threoninol
Type
Synthetic peptide hormone
Purity
Purity greater than 98.0% as determined by RP-HPLC.
Formulation
Sterile-filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. The Octreotide was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution with no additives.
Reconstitution
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Octreotide in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Shipping
Ships at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at the temperature recommended below.
Storage/Expiration
Lyophilized Octreotide, although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution, Octreotide 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 prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
