Hi,
I am wondering how to store neutravidin aliquotes. Will the protein be stable after freezing it at -20C and thawing a week later?
Thank you,
Monika
Do not use phosphate buffer for storing your protein at -20C. Phosphate undergoes a substantial pH change during freezing to that temperature that could be harmful to some proteins.

Hi Monica, neutravidin is very stable in water or PBS. If you can store it at -80oC then your great-great-grandchildren will still be able to use it.
Sounds great! Thank you.
Does anyone tried to do nucleofection with AMAXA by Lonza with lower than recommended amount of buffer in the cuvettes (100 ul)?

Is it the "elution buffer" or the "dialysis buffer"? Note: I'll be using NanoDrop OneC
