Abstract
⺠The stability of liquid antivenom is critical for the safety and efficacy of the product. ⺠We demonstrate that ovine IgG liquid antivenom remains stable after 42 months at 4 °C and ambient temperature. ⺠Antivenom remains stable after an additional month stored at 37 °C. ⺠Correct formulation of liquid antivenom permits long-term stability without requirement for stabilizers or preservatives. ⺠These results demonstrate retention of antivenom potency in the event of short-term failings in the cold chain.
