Storage: | Store at -80C. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.Virus is supplied at 1X10^12 particles/mL. We recommend thawing the virus at room temperature. For aliquoting, 0.5 mL screw cap vials are recommended. Other tubes do not seal tight enough and eventually the solution desiccates at -80 and the virus looses infectivity. We do not recommend diluting the virus and refreezing unless you use the cryo-protective buffer in the original formulation. Do not store or thaw the virus on ice, -20 C or 4 C. |
Shipped: | Frozen on Dry ice |
Cells should be infected when ~ 80% confluent and the normal growth media replaced with media containing only 2% serum. Media can be supplemented or replaced with normal growth media after 4 hrs if required. Wait at least 48 hrs prior to analysis by IHC, WB, ELISA etc.
