How do I reconstitute my lyophilized oligo?Why do I observe liquids in my oligo tube?
Our oligos are delivered lyophilized for improved stability. During lyophilization, DNA may become powdery and can easily fall out of the tube, so always spin the tube’s contents down before opening each tube. Prior to using lyophilized oligos, reconstitute them in TE buffer or DI water to an appropriate concentration. For convenience, we suggest a concentration of 100 µM. Please refer to our datasheet on the volume of buffer or water to add to the lyophilized oligos to achieve this concentration. Dissolve by vortexing. Do not mix by pipetting up and down. This can lead to contamination of your pipette shaft.
