Background
Bisphenol A (BPA) is predominantly used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins that are used in many products. It is released into the environment and food. BPA is an endocrine disruptor with estrogenic and obesogenic properties. It influences reproduction and has an epigenetic effect already in the foetus.

Applications
Titer of the antibody is about 50,000, which means that in the ELISA a dilution of 50,000 times will give 50 % binding.

Storage
Store at 4 °C or aliquot and store at -20 °C for longer periods. Precautions should be taken upon storage for longer periods. Problems of long term stability may occur with highly diluted solutions. For long storage purposes in solution the addition of sodium azide at 0.02 % is advised with the appropriate precautions of use.
