Follow the proper storage and handling recommendations below to maintain optimal transfection performance of your TransIT® transfection reagents and kits.
Recommended Storage Temperature
The table below lists the recommended storage temperature for all TransIT® reagents and kits. This information as well as the product guarantee for each product can also be found on respective product pages and protocols here.
Tips for Handling TransIT® Reagents
- Store tightly capped at the recommended storage temperature when not in use.
- Warm TransIT® reagents to room temperature before each use.
- Gently vortex/mix reagents before each use.
- Ensure any visible precipitates are fully dissolved before each use.
How to Dissolve Precipitates
Precipitates may occasionally form after storing TransIT® transfection reagents at 4°C or -20°C. Precipitation does not compromise product performance if they are completely dissolved. Precipitates are easily dissolved by gently warming--in your hands or briefly in a water bath--and with vortexing to mix. As a precaution, you can warm the reagents to room temperature and gently vortex the tube before each use to ensure uniformity of your reagent.
