If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

Si può prolungare la stabilità del prodotto D1515 sciolto in soluzione acquosa e successivamente conservato a -20°C?
1 answer-
Solution stability studies have not been performed on this product, however, the available literature suggests that solutions are most stable refrigerated. It is recommended to add 3 - 5% glucose or lactose as a stabilizer for long-term storage. Commercially available solutions were found to be stable for at least 1 month at -20°C and up to 1 year at 4°C.
This product, in solution, will degrade in alkaline pH conditions or when exposed to light for extended periods.

How can I store a solution of Product D1515, Doxorubicin hydrochloride?
1 answer-
Aqueous solutions are unchanged after one month at 5 °C but unstable at higher temperatures or at either acid or alkaline pH. Several studies cite that stability is related to pH, exposure to light and the medium used for storage. Doxorubicin hydrochloride is subject to light degradation at °C in the dark in 5% glucose, pH 4.7 (or 3.3% glucose + 0.3% sodium chloride, pH 4.4), solutions were stable (5% or less change) for at least 4 weeks.
