| Storage Temp of Stock Solution: |
Cysteine is readily oxidized to Cystine in neutral to slightly alkaline solutions or upon exposure to air in as little as 1 week at 2 to 6° C. Cystine may precipitate at higher concentrations and a sulfur odor may be present. For
short to long - term storage, Cysteine stocks are more stable in acidic
conditions and should be stored at least at 2 to 6° C. |
