Can we store pierce glutathione agarose beads in 50 mM tris, 150 mM NaCl,pH 8.o after regeneration?
Hi there,
It should be OK for short term storage (few days) if at 4°C. For longer term you should add 0.04% sodium azide to avoid bacterial growth.
Hi Abir, or you could store it really long term in 20% ethanol.
Thank you all.
