LGFR100 is provided in lyophilized powder form and should be stored at -20°C in a dry environment protected from light. It can be resuspended in water by following these steps: remove the product from the freezer, wait until the temperature rises to ambient, add DI water or buffer to the container, vortex and sonicate for 5 minutes to ensure the microspheres are well suspended.
It is strongly recommended to use the product immediately upon resuspension because the particles begin to degrade as soon as they are introduced into an aqueous solution. If storage of particles in suspension is required, it is recommended to store them at 2-8 °C to slow the degradation.
