Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. Can this product be used for cell culture (mammalian).

    1 answer
    1. This item has not been tested for the use in cell culture applications. However, the product has been used successfully by other researchers in a number of publications. Please see the link below to review one example:
      Human mesenchymal stromal cell-secreted lactate induces M2-macrophage differentiation by metabolic reprogramming.
      https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5058674/

      Helpful?

  2. Is this product sterile for biological use (for research)?

    1 answer
    1. This product is tagged as a BioXtra, which means it is intended for biological use, but it is not sterilized. It could be solubilized in sterile, ultrapure water. A sterilized solution such as product 63325 may be more suitable: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/product/sial/63325

      Helpful?

  3. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  4. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
