| About Me: | We’ve been storing both DNA and RNA for extended periods, and in our case, the key was minimizing freeze-thaw cycles and making sure the samples were aliquoted in small, single-use volumes. For RNA, we always use RNase-free water and tubes—one overlooked mistake early on nearly compromised a whole batch. For DNA, it’s more forgiving, but we still aim for consistent -20°C storage in buffered solutions. We source most of our long-term sample prep materials, like RNase inhibitors, from https://gentaur.co.uk, and they\'ve held up well under our usage conditions. I’d also recommend sealing tubes tightly and avoiding repeated opening—even tiny amounts of condensation can affect purity over time. |
