To avoid contamination, sterile filtration is highly recommended prior to cell culture application. Upon verification, the lab has not formulated a protocol for cell culture use. However, the following citation on M1753 for cell culture application may be of interest as a protocol reference: Im, H. (2011). "Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Maintenance for Differentiation." Bio-101: e145. DOI: 10.21769/BioProtoc.145.

How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?
1 answer-
The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.

What is the concentration of the 1-thioglycerol?
1 answer-
The liquid is not a solution of 1-thioglycerol in some solvent. Rather, it is a neat liquid (i.e., essentially pure 1-thioglycerol). Based on a density of 1.245 g/mL and a molecular weight of 108.2 g/mole, one can calculate an effective molarity of 11.5 M. This information may be found on the M1753 product information sheet.
