Section 3
Storage Conditions
All kit components (including lyophilized DNase I) should be stored at
room temperature. Store reconstituted DNase I at –20°C in a nonfrost-
free freezer, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles. If precipitation is
observed in any solution, warm the solution to 37°C to redissolve and
allow the solution to return to room temperature before use.
