(In)Stability? of sugar phosphates

Connie Francisco's Space  Follow
As long as the pH is near neutral, I don't believe that short-term storage is a problem.  Can your experiment tolerate the presence of a bacteriostat?  If not, why not store the solution of sugar phosphate as a frozen solution, in small aliquots?

Simple phosphomonoesters such as glucose 6-phosphate are most labile as the mono anion, which implies that they go through a maximum rate of hydrolysis near pH 4.  Even this maximum is not particularly fast at room temperature.  Glucose 1-phosphate is more labile, BTW.  One must also be concerned with microbiological degradation.

Thanks. So what sort of things would I need to consider if storing trel6phoshate in solution in very dilute quantities at room temp? Or it that not feasible

Kind regards
