Storage conditions

MGB probes are shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store at +2 to +8 °C. Once rehydrated, the oligonucleotides should be aliquoted and stored at -30 °C to -15 °C. Multiple freeze-thaw cycles (>10 cycles) should be avoided. Probes should be protected from light.

Reaction volumes and number of reactions per vial

MGB probes are available in 10, 20, and 60 nmols delivered. Our Reaction Estimator is a useful tool to calculate the number of reactions that can be performed, depending on desired reaction volume and oligonucleotide concentration. For example, 10 nmol of MGB probe is sufficient for 2,500 x 20 uL reactions containing 200 nM probe.

Oligonucleotide resuspension

Re-suspend the dried probes to make stock solutions. We recommend creating stocks of 100 µM. TE buffer (10 mM Tris, 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 8) is recommended but other molecular biology-grade, nuclease-free diluents may also be used. If another concentration is desired, please see our Oligonucleotide Resuspension Calculator for resuspension assistance.
