Compound Q&A
How should agarose (CAS: 9012-36-6) be stored?
Answer
Agarose should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, ideally at temperatures below 25°C and humidity levels under 60%. It is hygroscopic, so airtight containers are essential to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid exposure to light and contaminants to maintain its stability and integrity over time.
