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.

The effects of betonicine, floridoside, and isethionic acid from the red alga Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis on quorum-sensing activity.[Reference:
WebLink]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
A mixture of three compounds (Betonicine, floridoside, and isethionic acid) purified from the red alga Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis, was reported to have an inhibition activity on bacterial quorum sensing mechanism mediated by Noctanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone (OHL) and the TraR transcriptional activator protein.
We subsequently conducted a more detailed investigation of the three compounds using chemically synthesized (Betonicine and floridoside) or commercially available (isethionic acid) compounds, individually or in various combinations. When tested alone, none of the three compounds inhibited OHL, but a mixture of floridoside and isethionic acid exhibited a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the function of OHL. In contrast, Betonicine or its isomer exhibited a dose-dependent stimulatory effect, similar to OHL, at concentrations between 10−3 and 10−6 M.
CONCLUSIONS:
These three compounds will be useful for elucidating the interaction between OHL and TraR, and for developing novel bacterial quorum-sensing inhibitors.
