The document provides information about Agilent Technologies Agilent Stabilization and Drying Solution. This product is a solution of an ozone-scavenging compound dissolved in acetonitrile, used for stabilizing and drying experimental samples. The compound in solution is present in saturating amounts and may precipitate from the solution under normal storage conditions. If precipitation occurs, the solution can be warmed and the compound redissolved. Using the solution with visible precipitation can have a negative impact on microarray performance. It is important to note that the solution is flammable, and warming it will increase the generation of ignitable vapors. Therefore, proper safety precautions, such as wearing gloves and eye/face protection, using a vented fume hood, and avoiding open flames or microwaves, should be followed. Failure to do so can lead to fire, explosion, and injury.
This document provides product information for the Agilent Stabilization and Drying Solution, which contains an ozone-scavenging compound dissolved in acetonitrile. The solution may show visible precipitation under normal storage conditions due to the saturating nature of the compound.
The text details safety precautions regarding flammability and vapor generation when warming the solution, along with a specific procedure to warm and mix the material to redissolve precipitates before use.
It is used to wash slides, but visible precipitation in the solution will have a profound adverse effect on microarray performance.
Place the bottle in a water bath at 37 to 40°C.
You must wear gloves and eye/face protection in every step of the procedure.
