Hello I have prepared acidic glycine and basic trisbase for an immunoprecipitation experiment and was wondering if the solutions can be reused in future immunoprecipitation experiments I want to perform?

Nick Gee

I've stored these solutions for many months in the fridge. Even the lab would be okay for a few weeks I suspect.
