Shipping:
Shipped on Dry Ice
Long Term Storage:
-20°C
Use/Stability:
Because solutions of the compound spontaneously give off NO gas at room temperature, we recommend that solutions be made immediately before use.
Technical Info/Product Notes:
Solutions of Streptozotocin will spontaneously give off NO gas at room temperature. This NO release is slowed, but not completely stopped at -80°C, and the rate of NO release is also impacted by the solvent used (for example, dissolving Streptozotocin in buffers that contain sodium speeds up NO release). Since it does not seem to be possible to completely stop the NO release when streptozotocin is in solution, and the NO donor function is critical to the majority of experimental applications, we recommend that customers make solutions only immediately before use.
