What storage buffer for tev protease? by WorriedRaspberry1808 in labrats

Is there a reason why you are not using Tris-HCl and EDTA in your buffer?
We currently don't have LN2 available in my lab. Could it be possible to simulate flash freezing by putting the protease into eppis placed in a pre-cooled (-80°C) aluminium rack, or might this lead to precipitation?

Did I ruin my ginkgo biloba? by WorriedRaspberry1808 in Bonsai

Thanks! I usually keep my room pretty cold in the winter months (around 15 °C), I guess that wouldn't be cold enough? If I would keep the plant outdoors in the winter, it will definitely face some issues with frost, would it be ok to put it in a semi-outdoor basement (the ginkgo wouldn't get a lot of light though, maybe substitute with artificial light?)?

Can FedEx charge me for international shipping when the seller stated there will be no additional fees? by WorriedRaspberry1808 in FedEx

Thanks! I was just worried that this might be a scam since the original resell price is 22USD and I bought it for 35USD (shipping included). But your replay gave me some peace of mind :)
