KAPA Mouse Genotyping Kits may be stored at 4 °C for regular, short-term use (up to 1 week). Provided that the kit has been handled carefully and not contaminated, the kit components are not expected to be compromised if left (unintentionally) at room temperature for short periods of time (up to 24 hours). Long-term storage at room temperature or 4 °C is not recommended.
