Dissolving EGF and Visible Fibers in Serum
Question
I am dissolving Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF, Recombinant) in water to create a serum. The resulting texture is liquid, but I observe visible protein fibers. Is the presence of these fibers normal?
Answer
Regarding Dissolving Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF, Recombinant)
Thank you for your question regarding the dissolution of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF, Recombinant).
Observing a liquid serum texture after dissolving EGF in water is normal, as the product is soluble in water.
However, the presence of visible protein fibers suggests that the EGF may not be fully dissolved yet. The product description provides specific instructions for dissolving EGF:
- Add EGF to the formula after everything else is mixed.
- Blend for at least 15 minutes.
- Leave for 6-12 hours.
- If it does not dissolve completely after this time, continue blending until it is fully dissolved.
Therefore, seeing visible fibers indicates that the dissolution process is not complete. Please follow the recommended mixing method, including sufficient blending and standing time, to ensure the EGF is fully dissolved and the fibers disappear.
