QHow to deal with the insoluble impurities in the product?
AInsoluble impurities, which do not affect the product activity, are recommended to filter out or remove. We will investigate to confirm whether the impurity was introduced during packaging or if it is inherent to the product itself.
QWhether TargetMol inhibitor products are suitable for industrial use?
AThere are various standards for defining the purity, and we do not have fixed purity standard. The purity of most products are above 98% and can be used for control experiments, including cell experiments, animal experiments, general laboratory experiments, and high-throughput screening. Our product purity also meets the industrial standard.
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.
QThe detection results after adding the drug show no effect. Does this indicate a problem with the product quality?
AThe product quality is assured, All products have undergone two rigorous quality inspections. Structural confirmation is achieved through HNMR, while purity is determined by HPLC. However, the same inhibitor may yield different IC50 values and experimental outcomes due to variations in experimental materials (such as cells or animals). Therefore, it's not advisable to directly replicate methods in literature. Instead, establish concentration gradients tailored to your own experiments.
QCan the inhibitor DMSO stock solution be directly diluted with buffer to create a gradient?
AIn most cases, it can dissolve. However, sometimes organic reagents may precipitate when directly added to an aqueous medium. It is recommended to first dilute the inhibitor with DMSO to form a gradient, and then add the diluted inhibitor to the buffer or cell culture medium. Some inhibitors may only dissolve in the aqueous phase at their working concentrations.
For example, if a final concentration of 1 μM is desired in cell experiments, the 10 mM DMSO stock solution can be diluted to 1 mM with DMSO, and then 2 μL can be drawn and added to 2 mL of saline/PBS/cell culture medium, resulting in a final concentration of 1 μM.
To avoid precipitation of the drug, it is recommended to preheat the mother liquor and culture medium to 37°C before dilution to avoid serious precipitation caused by low temperature. If precipitation occurs during the dilution process, it is suggested to use ultrasonic heating to redissolve the compound.
