Typically soluble in sterile water or bacteriostatic water; if needed, a small volume of dilute acetic acid or other compatible aqueous buffer may aid dissolution before bringing to final volume. Reconstitute to the concentration specified by your own research protocol, mixing gently and avoiding vigorous agitation. Store the lyophilized powder sealed at -20°C and protected from moisture and light; after reconstitution, keep aliquots refrigerated (2-8°C) for short-term use or frozen at -20°C for longer-term storage, and minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Any downstream handling is performed by the buyer according to their own laboratory protocol and applicable safety practice.
