QCan PEG400 be used instead of PEG300?
APEG300 has moderate viscosity, which facilitates the dissolution and administration of drugs, while also providing good tolerability without adverse effects on animals. PEG400 can replace PEG300.
PEG600 is not very recommended because its melting point is close to room temperature.
QHow to use compounds in animal experiments? How to determine dosage and administrative routes?
AThe usage of the same compound may vary for different animal models and disease models. It is recommended to decide the usage based on the experimental purpose and refer to literatures.
Common administration routes include intraperitoneal injection, oral gavage, etc. Due to the first-pass effect, compounds that can be administered orally may also be suitable for intraperitoneal injection, but those suitable for intraperitoneal injection may not necessarily be suitable for oral gavage. Dosages for different species can be converted based on tables provided on our official website. It is best to refer to specific literatures for dosages in a particular animal species.
Our compounds can be used in both cell and animal experiments, but some compounds may not have literature supporting their use in animal experiments. In such cases, we cannot guarantee efficacy.
QWhat equipment should be used for ultrasound?
AUltrasonic cleaners" are recommended instead of "ultrasonic disruptors".
QHow to choose the appropriate solvent?
ACommon solvents include DMSO, water, ethanol, etc. Please select the appropriate solvent according to the solubility reference. If the inhibitor can be dissolved in DMSO, it is recommended to use freshly opened DMSO without moisture absorption. If the inhibitor can be dissolved in water, solvents like sterile water, physiological saline, sterile PBS ahd culture medium are recommended.
QWhat should I do if the products in powder form adhere to the vial tightly?
AIt's recommended to centrifuge it at 3000 rpm for a few minutes.
