How long can I store the oligonucleotide?
The lyophilized oligonucleotide is stable at -20°C for at least 1 year. The oligonucleotide dissolved in TE is stable for at least 6 months at -20°C or 4°C. The oligonucleotide dissolved in water is stable for at least 6 months at -20°C in the absence of nucleases. Be sure the water used is at neutral pH to avoid depurination. Do not store oligonucleotides in water at 4°C.
