- Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Studies: Used in controlled experiments examining electron leakage and oxidative stress mechanisms.
Research FAQ
How should SS-31 be stored?
Store the lyophilized powder at 2–8°C for short-term use. For long-term preservation, store at -20°C. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and handle under controlled laboratory conditions.
What is the recommended reconstitution procedure?
- Solvent: Bacteriostatic Water or Sterile 0.9% Saline
- Standard Dilution (for laboratory preparation):
- Add 2mL of solvent for a 10mg vial to achieve 5mg/mL
- Add 1mL of solvent for a 10mg/mL solution
- Handling: Slowly introduce solvent along the vial wall and gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake to preserve peptide structure.
