Proper storage conditions and handling?
Enzymes may loss their activity because of humidity, increase in temperature, or other unsuitable conditions during storage or upon usage. Refer to the following tips to keep them active. Proper storage condition Optimum storage temperature may vary by enzyme form. Keep the lyophilized form of enzymes in frozen state (-20) and liquid form of enzymes in refrigerated state (4). Containers should stay unopened. Provide low humidity and dark environment. Some enzymes may decompose with light. Upon usage (of lyophilized enzymes) After taking enzyme container out of freezer, do not open it immediately but have it unopened at room temperature for at least 3hours, which gives the enzyme time to get used to the new condition. Otherwise the enzyme may absorb moisture and lose its activity due to the immediate exposure to rapidly increased temperature. In opening the container, take the following steps to prevent the enzymes from popping out of the container in fluffy shape because the change in
