Different types of samples require different storage conditions. Common storage conditions include:
Refrigeration: Typically at 2-8°C, suitable for short-term storage of samples that are stable at these temperatures. Freezing: Long-term storage often requires temperatures of -20°C or -80°C to preserve the integrity of the samples. Liquid Nitrogen: Some samples, particularly RNA and certain cell types, may require storage in liquid nitrogen at -196°C.
