What is the shelf-life of my 3DNA kit?
Every 3DNA kit contains an expiration date on the side of the package. The expiration date will be 3 – 6 months after purchase if stored as directed in the protocol. If stored as directed, some of the components may be used up to 1 year after purchase. These components include the RT primer, hybridization buffers, LNA dT blocker, and capture reagents. However, the dNTP mix, Superase-In RNAse inhibitor, dTTP, TdT enzyme and T4 DNA Ligase should not be used after the expiration date. Please consult with Technical Support prior to using an expired kit.
