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.
