How do I store FITC-dextran?

Posted November 10, 2022


Answer

FITC-dextran must be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ideal storage temperature is about 2 °C to 8 °C. The container must be kept tightly sealed until ready for use and the contents must be protected from light. When stored properly within the guidelines above, FITC-dextran will remain stable for a minimum of 2 to 3 years.
