To minimize probe degradation, it is essential to adopt strategies such as:
Proper Storage: Store probes at recommended temperatures and conditions to maintain their stability. Use of Stabilizers: Incorporate chemical stabilizers to enhance the shelf-life of probes. Minimize Light Exposure: Use opaque containers or wrap probes in aluminum foil to protect them from light. Optimizing pH Levels: Ensure that assays are conducted in buffers that maintain the probe's optimal pH range. Regular Calibration: Regularly calibrate instruments to account for potential degradation over time.
