Storing Samples

[molecule2005]

Any ideas on the storage of samples?

How long can lysates stay in the -20C or -80C?

What about DNA can it stay long in the 4C


and RNA??? -80C?

thank you in advance for this

Lysates -80, six months at least (didn´t test for longer time).
Rna -80,one year
Dna - for daily use 4, for longer time storage -20.

Hi,

If its bacterial lysates then it colud be pelleted in Tris(10mM) and washed twice and resuspended in Tris+Glycerol mix and stored in -80 for a year, it worked for me. I used it for protein extraction!!.
