Warm TransIT® Transfection Products to Room Temperature and Gently Vortex Before Use
Precipitates may occasionally form after storing the
TransIT® Transfection Products at 4ºC or -20ºC. As a precaution, always warm the reagents to room temperature and gently vortex the tube to dissolve any precipitate that may have formed. Precipitation does not compromise product performance if precipitates are completely dissolved.
