RE: Storage inquiry..
Message
Steve,
The expiration date lot# are already on the
label, We write the rec'd and opened date on the vial with a cryo pen.
The cap tops are printed with the Ab name. A blue dot on the vial for
those inventoried, green for those lots titrated and approved for use. The color
coding helps those individuals who rotate through IHC. Abs in use are
placed in individual slots, that are in stacking trays that slide forward for
easy access to the slots. It is a stacking storage system for
refrigerators or freezers purchased from Fisher years ago. Probably between
12 and 18 inches wide. The Abs are grouped by letter.Writing the name in
abbreviated form on the top of the cap helps us quickly locate the Ab
needed. We have around 100, its easier to replace the Abs if grouped by
first letter.

Hey Gang,
I am interested in hearing the different ways
you store antibodies in the refrigerator.
Proper labelling of antibodies (i.e. tags for GLP, including received
date, lot#, expiration date, date opened, etc. ) requires the tag to be
attached to the antibody. Our labels are stuck to a wired card, then
wired onto the vials. As we all know, the antibody vials are small.
I am looking for a storage
system that will allow my antibodies to be separated, in individual slots, big
enough to hold the product and label. Currently I use those 3 drawer
plastic systems you find at your local K-Mart's, Walmart's, etc. These
systems work nicely, but not organized in categories for quick
retrieval.
I have heard from a source
they use "tackle box" type where slots can be utilized. I like this
idea. Any others?
Thank
you!
Steve
