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.
