Dosage and Storage

🔬 1) General Handling

  • Handle only in a clean laboratory or controlled research environment

  • Avoid unnecessary exposure to air, moisture, light, and heat

  • Use appropriate laboratory PPE (gloves, lab coat, eye protection)

🧪 2) Reconstitution (For Laboratory Preparation)

  • Use sterile laboratory-grade water or appropriate solvent specified by your protocol

  • Introduce liquid slowly down vial wall to avoid foaming

  • Gently swirl—do not shake

  • Record preparation date and solvent used

❄️ 3) Storage

Lyophilized (Powder / Unmixed):

  • Freezer (-20°C or lower): up to 1–2+ years

  • Refrigerator (2–8°C): several months

  • Store dark, dry, and sealed

Reconstituted Solutions:

  • Refrigerator (2–8°C)

  • Do not freeze unless protocol explicitly requires

  • Typical research stability: 14–30 days (compound-dependent)

🧼 4) Contamination Control

  • Use sterile tools and containers

  • Wipe vial septum with alcohol before and after access

  • Do not reuse needles or pipette tips

  • Discard if turbidity, precipitation, or color change is observed

📌 5) Documentation & Traceability

  • Label containers with compound name, concentration, solvent, and date

  • Maintain preparation and usage logs

  • Store SDS (Safety Data Sheets) on file

⚠️ 6) Disposal

  • Dispose of unused material and consumables according to local chemical waste regulations

  • Do not pour down drains or place in household waste
