QUICK LINKS

MTSL is a highly reactive, thiol-specific spin-label. MTSL is a specific conformational probe of thiol site structure by its minimal rotational freedom and distance from the covalent disulfide linkage to the macromolecule under study. MTSL can be used to label cysteine residues in proteins, site-directed labeling and SDS labeling. MTSL allows protein structure and protein dynamics determination and the study of protein-protein and protein-oligonucleotide interactions.

I would like to transport MTSL for 15-24 hours. Is it better to keep it in DMSO solution or dry powder form (expecting temperature will be around 15C)? Thanks in advance for the answer.

Asked by: Anna91
Thank you for your question. This compound should be kept at -20°C, so transport on dry ice is recommended to ensure viability of the compound.

Can this product be stored in solution?

Asked by: hawkeye11
The product is known to be unstable in solution and should not be frozen/thawed, therefore stock solution should be split into aliquots and kept at -70°C. When needed aliquots can be thawed and kept at RT for not more than 2 hours (the leftover must be discarded).
