Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

Stopped-flow kinetic study of the aroxyl radical-scavenging action of catechins and vitamin C in ethanol and micellar solutions.[Pubmed:
18500808 ]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Kinetic study of the aroxyl radical-scavenging action of catechins (epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)) and related compounds (methyl gallate (MG), 4-methylcatechol (MC), and 5-Methoxyresorcinol (MR)) has been performed. The second-order rate constant ( k s) for the reaction of these antioxidants with aroxyl radical has been measured in ethanol and aqueous Triton X-100 micellar solution (5.0 wt %). The k s values decreased in the order of EGCG > EGC > MC > ECG > EC > MG >> MR in ethanol, indicating that the reactivity of the OH groups in catechins decreased in the order of pyrogallol B-ring > catechol B-ring > gallate G-ring > resorcinol A-ring. The structure-activity relationship in the free radical-scavenging reaction by catechins has been clarified by the detailed analyses of the pH dependence of k s values. From the results, the p K a values have been determined for catechins.
CONCLUSIONS:
The monoanion form at catechol B- and resorcinol A-rings and dianion form at pyrogallol B- and gallate G-rings show the highest activity for free radical scavenging. It was found that the free radical-scavenging activities of catechins are 3.2-13 times larger than that of vitamin C at pH 7.0.
