How long (and at what conditions) is this product stable after dissolution in water?  In DMSO?

Asked by: two2igm05
Thank you for your question. Once the compound has been reconstituted in DMSO, it can remain stable for up to 6 months if stored at -80ºC. In general, we recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and stored at -20°C or below to be used within 1 month. Wherever possible, though, solutions should be made up and used on the same day. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Technical Service department by calling 800-457-3801 option 2, emailing scbt@scbt.com, or using the Live Chat function on our website.
