Sodium Orthovanadate (Part ACTVO-4) is provided as a potent phosphatase inhibitor that has been pre-activated and depolymerized by pH10 adjustment and boiling cycles until the solution maintains a colorless appearance at equilibrium at pH10§. This preparation depolymerizes sodium orthovanadate and enhances its phosphotyrosyl phosphatase inhibitor potency.§
Activated sodium orthovanadate solution is ready-to-use and can be dispensed directly into cell lysates, or cell culture medium (after filter sterilization if applied over an extended duration; i.e. overnight. Sterilization for cell culture applications is not required for short duration exposure; i.e < 5 hrs).
Pre-activated sodium orthovanadate solution is stable for at least one year when stored at -20oC as provided. Certain buffer components, such as EDTA and oxidants, interact with inhibition potency. HEPES is a preferred buffer for cell lysis solutions to maintain vanadate potency.2

Sodium Orthovanadate (Vanadate) Applications:
Maintains tyrosyl phosphorylation in cell lysates and live cell culture (syringe filter sterilization is required for cell culture).
Alkaline phosphatase inhibitor
ATPase inhibitor, including ABC transporters
Use as a stock solution for pervanadate generation
Directions (Phosphatase Inhibition)
Concentration: Recommended experimental sodium orthovanadate (vanadate) concentration for phosphatase inhibition is 1 mM.
Cell lysates: Dispense the 200 mM stock sodium orthovanadate solution directly into cell lysates to make a final concentration of 1 mM.
Cell culture: Syringe sterilize with a 2 micron filter, dispense the 200 mM stock solution to cell culture medium to make a final 1 mM concentration.
