A simple, rapid and reproducible assay for the determination of melanoma cell proliferation in vitro is described, based on the hydrolysis of a fluorogenic substrate by cell esterases in the cytoplasm of living cells. Human melanoma cells were cultured at

Questions

  1. If a lab cannot store this chemical at -20C. will the product still be stable to run for lipase assay using fluorescence spectrometer?

    1 answer
    1. The optimum storage temperature for this compound is -20 deg. C. The product is shipped at ambient temperature and is stable for relatively short periods of time outside of the recommended storage conditions. One to two weeks are typically allowed for transit time. The long term stability of the product at ambient temperature has not been established and the integrity of the product may be compromised.
