Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light to maintain integrity.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of Kinetin CHR 99.5% in water?
Kinetin CHR 99.5% is sparingly soluble in water but dissolves well in dilute acids or alkaline solutions. For optimal results, pre-dissolve in a small volume of DMSO or ethanol before adding to aqueous media.
2. Can this grade be used for mammalian cell culture?
While primarily designed for plant systems, Kinetin CHR 99.5% has been explored in specific mammalian cell studies. Verify compatibility with your protocol, as cytokinins may exhibit different effects across biological systems.
3. How does this compare to kinetin from other suppliers?
This CHR-grade kinetin undergoes additional purification steps, resulting in higher consistency and lower batch-to-batch variation compared to standard reagent grades. The 99.5% purity minimizes interference in sensitive assays.
4. What?s the recommended storage temperature?
Store at 2?8?C in an airtight container. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles, as moisture absorption can compromise purity. Desiccants are recommended for long-term storage.
5. Is this product animal-component free?
Yes, Kinetin CHR 99.5% is synthesized chemically and contains no animal-derived components, making it suitable for vegan research applications.
