Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in 50mM MES,150mM NaCl (pH 6.5). The product concentration should not be less than 100 μg/ml. Before opening, centrifuge the tube to collect powder at the bottom. After adding the reconstitution buffer, avoid vortexing or pipetting for mixing.

It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications of various serious conditions, and early diagnosis is therefore critical for the treatment of AKI. Recent evidence demonstrates that neutrophil gelatinase- associated lipocalin (NGAL) is closely associated with AKI. Several experimental and clinical studies have shown that the expression of urine and serum NGAL increases significantly in AKI. NGAL shows potential to be a new effective early biochemical marker of AKI. Further studies are needed to confirm the significant advantages of NGAL in the diagnosis of early AKI and its value in clinical applications.
