Q:

Can cell free supernatants ( NOT lysed) be stored for later testing with ViaLightâ„¢ Plus BioAssay?

A:

For supernatants there will be exogenous ATPases present that will degrade ATP so it should really be treated as if it were cells. Freeze as quickly as possible and store at -80C, for no more than 4 weeks. The ATP will be OK with the freezing.
