How should Multiplexed Gene Fragments be handled?

  1. Unmodified multiplexed gene fragments are stable. For long-term storage (up to one year), freeze DNA at -20° C. For even longer storage, freeze DNA at -80° C.
  2. If the fragments are stored in solution, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles as this process can lead to physical degradation of the fragments.
  3. If numerous experiments are planned, aliquot the sample and store at -20°C.
  4. Careful handling is recommended to avoid possible contamination with nucleases or bacteria.
