- Understanding the trade-offs between different 5-Amino-1MQ storage methods is crucial for making informed decisions in your lab. Here's a quick comparison:
- Freezer (Lyophilized)
- Powder (unopened)
- -20°C to -80°C
- 2-5+ years
- Maximum stability, minimal degradation
- Requires freezer space, careful handling
- Refrigerator (Lyophilized)
- 2°C to 8°C
- Up to 6 months
- Convenient for short-term, no freezer needed
- Reduced shelf life compared to freezing
- Freezer (Reconstituted)
- Solution (aliquoted)
- -20°C
- 6 months – 1 year
- Good stability, preserves potency
- Requires aliquoting, freeze-thaw concerns
- Refrigerator (Reconstituted)
- Solution
- Days to 2-3 weeks
