Essential Measurement Practices

Reagents and Reagent Mixes
Reagents and Reagent Mixes
• Handle and store all reagents according to the instructions given in the
specific Kit Guide.
• Keep all reagents and reagent mixes (for example, the gel-dye mix)
refrigerated at 4°C when not in use for more than 1 hour. Reagents left at
room temperature may decompose, leading to poor measurement results.
• Allow all reagents and samples to equilibrate to room temperature for 30
minutes. Mix and spin down prior to use.
Gel and Gel-Dye Mix
• Use gel-dye mix within the specified time frame stated in the instructions
from the kit guide. Otherwise, it may decompose and lead to poor
measurement results.
• Protect dye and gel-dye mixes from light. Dye decomposes when exposed to
light.
