Handling
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 -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. 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.

Inhibition by suramin, PPADS and DIDS significantly reduces the ATP-induced increase in extracellular H+ flux from isolated Müller cells.
(A) A representative trace from a single Müller cell shows a significant increase in H+ flux in response to 10 μM ATP that is significantly reduced by the ATP receptor blockers 200 μM PPADS and 200 μM suramin; asterisk indicates a background control reading. (B) 300 μM DIDS, which inhibits anion transport, significantly reduces the increase in H+ flux in response to 10 μM ATP. (C) Mean responses to 10 μM ATP with or without suramin and PPADS in the bath; N = 7, error bars represent SEMs. (D) Mean responses to 10 μM ATP in the presence of 300 μM DIDS (N = 6) and in the absence of DIDS, N = 5 (controls).
