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.
Need more advice on solubility, usage and handling? Please email to: service@chemfaces.com
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.

Rapid detection of cocaine, benzoylecgonine and methylecgonine in fingerprints using surface mass spectrometry.[Pubmed:
25977942]
Latent fingerprints provide a potential route to the secure, high throughput and non-invasive detection of drugs of abuse. In this study we show for the first time that the excreted metabolites of drugs of abuse can be detected in fingerprints using ambient mass spectrometry.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Fingerprints and oral fluid were taken from patients attending a drug and alcohol treatment service. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to test the oral fluid of patients for the presence of cocaine and benzoylecgonine. The corresponding fingerprints were analysed using Desorption Electrospray Ionization (DESI) which operates under ambient conditions and Ion Mobility Tandem Mass Spectrometry Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI-IMS-MS/MS) and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS). The detection of cocaine, benzoylecgonine (BZE) and Methylecgonine (EME) in latent fingerprints using both DESI and MALDI showed good correlation with oral fluid testing. The sensitivity of SIMS was found to be insufficient for this application.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results provide exciting opportunities for the use of fingerprints as a new sampling medium for secure, non-invasive drug detection. The mass spectrometry techniques used here offer a high level of selectivity and consume only a small area of a single fingerprint, allowing repeat and high throughput analyses of a single sample.

Detection and confirmation of cocaine use by chromatographic analysis for methylecgonine in urine.[Pubmed:
3542285 ]
Methylecgonine is a common metabolite of cocaine in man.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
We prepared Methylecgonine and developed thin-layer chromatographic and gas-chromatographic methods for its detection in urine. Seventy urine specimens from our drug screening laboratory were tested by our method and by EMIT. Both methods were positive for 26 urines, and both were negative for 42 urines. The other two urines were shown to contain cocaine by GC/MS, and no detectable metabolites.
CONCLUSIONS:
We thus demonstrated that detection of Methylecgonine and cocaine is as sensitive a test for cocaine use as EMIT.
