My PBS, PH 7.4 (Cat. No. 10010072) was accidentally frozen. Can I still use it?

This product should be stored at 2-8 degrees C and should not be frozen. The biggest issue with accidentally freezing this product is its solubility. If this product was accidentally frozen, we recommend placing it in a 2-8 degree environment and allowing it to slowly thaw overnight. If the product is fully thawed and shows no signs of precipitation, then it should still be usable, but we cannot guarantee effectiveness.
