QWhat do "mg/mL" and "mM" mean?
Amg/mL" and "mM" are two different units of measurement, but represent the same maximum solubility. You can convert between them using the molar concentration calculator on our website.
QHow to store inhibitor products?
ASolid-form products can be stored at -20°C for more than 3 years.
Stock solutions are typically stored at -80°C and can be stored for more than 1 year. It is recommended to aliquot the product to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
For short-term storage, samples can be kept at 4°C for more than one week.
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.
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 is the calculation method for preparing a solution?
AThe calculation method is as follows:
(1) c=n/v=m/M/v
Concentration=amount of substance/volume=mass/molar mass/volume
(2) The solution preparation table is presented in the the product details page on our website. You can add the volume of solvent as referenced.
