We do not recommend storing the Traut’s Reagent in solution. This reagent is more stable in solution than others crosslinkers because hydrolysis takes place at a slower rate. Yet, its hydrolysis will inevitably occur with time if it is in solution. Therefore, to ensure a better crosslinking efficiency, we recommend preparing a fresh solution each time and storing the Traut's reagent as a powder at 4°C. Unfortunately, we do not have stability data of this reagent in a solution.
