II. STORAGE AND STABILITY
Upon receiving the sample, store immediately at -20 °C. The lyophilized 
powder is stable at -20 °C until the expiration date printed on the label. 
Once reconstituted, the solution should be used immediately for best 
performance. Stability can be extended by freezing samples at -20 °C.
III. RECONSTITUTION OF MASSPREP PROTEIN STANDARD MIX
FOR HPLC/UPLC USE
Each vial of the MassPREP Protein Standard Mix contains approximately 
123 µg of total protein. Table 2 outlines the individual concentra-
tions. For ACQUITY UPLC BEH C
4
1.7 μm, 2.1 x 50 mm column evalu-
ation (P/N 186004495) the recommended reconstitution volume is 
100 μL of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in water with a 5 µL load to make 
a sample containing 1228 ng/ µL of total protein.

MSDS information: Waters Protein and Peptide Standards contain 
various non hazardous peptides in powder form. They are for laboratory 
use only, solely for purposes of scientific experimentation, analysis, 
research or development. Waters Protein and Peptide Standards 
should be used only as directed and in accordance with good 
laboratory practice. All Waters Digestion Standards are non hazardous 
as defined by OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 
1910.1200(c) and Appendix A and B, and are thus exempt from the 
requirements of the Hazard Communication Standard, including the 
requirement to supply MSDSs.
