How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
The approximate molecular weight is 1320 g/mol. The molecular weight can vary from lot to lot due to variation in the methyl content of the product. The molecular weight of this product is dependent on the average number of methyl groups per glucose residue (reported on the lot specific Certificate of Analysis). View the specification sheet above.
This product is tested and found soluble at 50 mg/ml in 1 M NaOH yielding a clear, colorless solution. This product is also soluble in water (150 mg/ml), yielding a clear, colorless solution. Aqueous solutions may be obtained by stirring 30 minutes at room temperature. Alternatively, sonication with cooling may be employed.
Solutions can be sterile filtered using a 0.2 μm membrane. We do not recommend autoclaving the solution. The product as supplied is not sterile.
The cavity diameter of β -cyclodextrins compounds is well-suited for use with molecules the size of hormones, vitamins and many compounds frequently used in tissue and cell culture applications. For this reason, β-cyclodextrin is most commonly used as a complexing agent. Hydrophobic molecules are incorporated into the cavity of cyclodextrins by displacing water. This reaction is favored by the repulsion of the molecule by water. This effectively encapsulates the molecule of interest within the cyclodextrin, rendering the molecule water soluble. When the water soluble complex is diluted in a much larger volume of aqueous solvent, the process is reversed, thereby releasing the molecule of interest into the solution.
This product has been used to reduce the cholesterol content of cell membranes at 10 - 50 mM.References:Eur J Cell Biol. 1999 Jul, 78(7): 473-84.Lipids. 1996 Aug, 31(8): 817-28.
If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

How palmitic acid, other fatty acids and other cell culture components affect the performance of serum-free, protein-free cell culture systems used for biomanufacturing heterologous proteins including monoclonal antibodies.
Solubility of common cell culture components in water and in a solution of 2-Hydroxylpropyl beta-cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrin is a non-toxic compound useful for its ability to solubilize fat soluble vitamins and hormones.
How the unsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid and other cell culture components affect the performance of serum-free, protein-free cell culture systems used for biomanufacturing heterologous proteins including monoclonal antibodies.
Many metabolically important compounds, such as lipid-soluble vitamins and hormones, have very low solubilities in aqueous solutions. Various techniques have been used to solubilize these compounds in tissue culture, cell culture, or other water-based applications.
