Recombinant Human Insulin

(rHuInsulin)

Certificate of Analysis and Data Sheet

Description: Recombinant Human Insulin produced in E.Coli is a two chain, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 51 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 5807 Dalton.

rHuInsulin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source: Escherichia Coli.

Physical Appearance:Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation & Packaging: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with no additives.

Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized rHuInsulin in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

 Stability: Lyophilized rHuInsulin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 C. Upon reconstitution rHuInsulin 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.

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.

Dimers and aggregates: Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.

Biological Activity: Our rHuInsulin is fully biologically active when compared to World Health Organization (WHO) reference standard which is 28 units/mg.

Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/µg (IEU/µg) of rHuInsulin.

Protein content: Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:

1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm.

2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of Insulin as a Reference Standard.

Usage: This material is offered for research, laboratory or further manufacturing purposes.
