QWhether sonication is needed for product dissolution? What if I don't have an ultrasound machine?
Asonication can accelerate dissolution. If the compound is not dissolving, sonication is recommended. If you don't have an ultrasound machine, a lower solvent concentration or using less powder are recommended.
QCan high-temperature sterilization be used for inhibitors?
AMost products are synthesized by chemical methods
QHow should inhibitors be dissolved for cell experiments?
AInhibitors are typically dissolved in DMSO to prepare a concentrated stock solution. Please store at -80°C and aliquot the product to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. For short-term use within one week, aliquots can be stored at 4°C. When diluting in experiments, PBS, physiological saline, culture medium, and water are commonly used. (Note: In cell experiments, the final concentration of DMSO should not exceed 0.1%. If it exceeds 0.1%, it's necessary to conduct a negative control experiment during preliminary test to assess any potential effects of the solvent on cells.)
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 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.
