Compatible solvents (and approximate maximum solubility): DMSO ( ˜10 mg/mL), DMF (˜10 mg/mL), ethanol (˜20 mg/mL), methanol (˜20 mg/mL), H2O (˜10 mg/mL), PBS, pH 7.2 (˜10 mg/mL).
Stock solutions may be prepared using the recommended solvents in concentrations at or below their maximum solubility and then stored frozen, desiccated (for non-aqueous solvents), and protected from light. Aqueous solutions should not be stored longer than one day.
For long-term storage, these reagents should be stored as a solid at ≤–20°C. To make smaller aliquots, dissolve the reagent in ethanol, make smaller aliquots in separate vials and then evaporate the solvent using a vacuum pump. Do not use DMSO or DMF due to their low vapor pressure.
