Preparation And Storage
1. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. 2. When stored at -18°C, the reagents are stable until the expiration date shown on the C ycleTEST PLUS kit label. Do not use after the expiration date. The thawed reagents are stable for 1 m onth when stored at 2° to 8°C. 3. The reagents should not be refrozen after thawing. Do not ex pose reagents to direct light during storage or during incubation with cells. 4. Reagents should not be heated to 37°C although they may be briefly exposed to a 37°C water bath in the process of thawing. 5. Solution C (PI) should be protected from light and kept ice cold (2° to 8°C). 6. Incubation times, ce ntrifugation times, or temperatures other than those specified may be a source of error. 7. For optimal results, analyze stained specimens within 3 hours of staining. 8. Alteration in the appearance of the reagents, such as precipitation or discoloration, indicates instability or de terioration. In suc h cases the reagent(s) should not be used.
