Lipid Reagent Accidentally Frozen

Symptom
Transfection reagent was frozen instead of stored at 4°C, potentially affecting performance
Common Causes
  1. 1 Improper storage of lipid transfection reagent
  2. 2 Freezing alters integrity and composition of lipid particles
Solutions
  1. 1 Purchase a new vial to ensure function
  2. 2 May work for first week but safer to replace
  3. 3 Store transfection reagents at 4°C as recommended
