Frequently Asked Questions
Future Fields produces quality recombinant proteins for research use.
Why can’t I see a pellet in the vial?
Lyophilized powder may not be visible for many reasons including, but not limited to, dislodged powder being stuck on the cap or lack of carrier proteins that make the product difficult to see. Please tap or centrifuge the vial to bring all the material down to the bottom and reconstitute the product as outlined above.
How do I reconstitute my protein?
Please refer to our video tutorial to understand how to reconstitute lyophilized (freeze dried) recombinant proteins.
Are there any stability concerns with freeze thawing?
Repeated freeze thawing is not recommended, as this may damage the protein products resulting in reduced functionality. After reconstitution, please aliquot into suitable sizes for one time use and freeze.
Can I add BSA as a carrier?
Yes. Adding a carrier protein like Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA 0.1%) enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration.
Are volume discounts or recurring order discounts available for this product?
Yes. Please reach out to sales@futurefields.io to discuss your needs.
