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

how long we can store aqueous solution of Vitamin B12 (2876)?
1 answer-
The stability of this product in aqueous solution has not been investigated. It would be up to the end user to determine solution storage and stability. As a conservative measure, it would be recommended to prepare solutions fresh, as needed. However, sterile solutions for injection are available for theratpeutic use and appear to be stable at ambient temperature. These solutions tend to have a pH range from neutral to acidic and are stored in amber bottles. See the link below to review more information on the therapeutic versions of Vitamin B12/Cyanocolamain for injection. https://www.drugs.com/pro/b-2-inject-kit.html

How should I store a solution of Vitamin B12, Product V2876?
1 answer-
Serum Vitamin B12 is highly unstable and should be protected from light and kept frozen. Cyanocobalamin is often used to supplement media. It has a maximal stability at pH = 7, but is photolysed to hydroxocobalamin with a zero-order rate constant.
