Click-iT™ Plus OPP Alexa Fluor™ 488 Protein Synthesis Assay Kit - FAQs

I will be performing a cell proliferation assay using Click-iT EdU kit. At what point can I stop overnight, or do I have to perform all the steps continuously?

One may store the sample after fixation overnight in PBS at 4^oC. For longer storage (<1 week) , store in buffer with 1-2% formaldehyde or in formalin to limit microbial growth. If you use sodium azide as a microbial inhibitor, it must be completely removed prior to the Click-iT reaction.
