Why are crystals present in my bottle of Cell Lysis Buffer (10X) #9803?

Crystals may be present in our Cell Lysis Buffer (10X) #9803 upon arrival due to the high concentrations of reagents included at the supplied 10X formulation, even when warmed to room temperature. This is not a cause for concern as your buffer is still good to use. We recommend warming the buffer to 37C for 5-10 minutes with mixing to help solubilize the crystals. Alternatively, diluting the 10X solution with ddH2O to at least 5X will yield a crystal-free solution. Once diluted, it can be aliquoted and stored at -20C for future use.
