It is recommended to store this product in the freezer at -20°C to help prevent moisture uptake from the atmosphere over time. The absolute humidity in a freezer is lower than at room temperature or in a refrigerator. This product was developed for use in drug delivery research; it cannot be used in the dental field.

General description
Degradex® is made with poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) with an L/G ratio of 50/50 and a Mw of 30,000.
To re-constitute:
To re-constitute:
- Remove the product from freezer.
- Wait until temperature rises to the ambient temperature.
- Add DI water or buffer to the container.
- Vortex and sonicate for 5 minutes to ensure the microspheres are well suspended.
Application
Plain PLGA particles can be used for testing system compatibility in drug delivery research. Particles can be used as carriers by attaching drug or biological/chemical entities to particle surface. PLGA particles are used for controlled release, sustained release and targeted drug delivery.A study reports the use of PLGA nanoparticles as estrogen carriers. The carrier-drug system was prepared by emulsification-diffusion method.[1][2]

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
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

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

Need more info on how to use the particles: How long are the PLGA nanoparticles stable for once reconstituted in water/PBS? Is 20mg/ml a good concentration to resuspend at? Presumably they should be stored at 4°C instead of refrozen once reconstituted?
1 answer-
The stability of the PLGA nanoparticles in the solution is not determined. However, various sources state that suspensions may be stable for greater than 2 weeks in aqueous buffers when stored at 4°C. See the link below for preparation and surface conjugation instructions. Allow the product to reach room temperature before suspending it in water or buffer. Suspensions may require vertexing or sonication:
