Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

Reacts with von Willebrand Factor (vWF), a multimeric plasma glycoprotein synthesized by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes. In plasma, vWF circulates as multimers which range from dimers of about 500 kDa to multimers of 20000 kDa. It functions as a carrier for Factor VIII and is a mediator of initial platelet adhesion to subendothelium and platelet-platelet interaction. Platelets bind to vWF through the platelet GPIb/IX (CD42b/CD42a) and GPIIb/IIIa (CD41/CD61) complexes This antibody is effective in detecting vWF by ELISA, with no evidence of cross reactivity with fibronectin or fibrinogen.
