  • Hi Manulvy,

    there are more parameters playing a role here like white or brown glass bottles, bottles open or closed with/without StaySafe caps, temperature, etc.

    Buffers 3 days seems ok, high organic content eluent a week is fine (still there might be evaporation). Derivatization reagents definitely not 7-10 days, 1-3 days is more likely and in the fridge when not in use with a new septum cap.

    Just as a guideline.
