IHC: Prolonged fixation in buffered formalin can destroy the epitope. The antibody may be used at a dilution of 1:50 to 1:150 with AutoProbe III (GTX28620). Dilute according to the particular application being used. In general, the 0.05M Borate pH 8.0 containing 0.15M Sodium Chloride, 0.05% Sodium Azide, is a good diluent to use with most antibodies.
Symmetry arguments suggest that most ligands engage metals via multiple bonds. The term 'metal ligand multiple bond is often reserved for ligands of the type CR n and NR n (n = 0, 1, 2) and OR n (n = 0, 1) where R is H or an organic substituent, or pseudohalide.s a cautionary note, the classification of a metal ligand bond as being multiple bond order is ambiguous and even arbitrary because bond order is a formalism.
Metallic bonding is not the only type of chemical bonding a metal can exhibit, even as a pure substance. For example, elemental gallium consists of covalently-bound pairs of atoms in both liquid and solid stateâthese pairs form a crystal lattice with metallic bonding between them.Nonmolecular' would perhaps be a better term. Metallic bonding is mostly non-polar, because even in alloys there is little difference among the electronegativities of the atoms participating in the bonding interaction (and, in pure elemental metals, none at all).
