Storage conditions depend on the type of sample and the intended analyses. For example:
- Blood Samples: Plasma and serum can be stored at -80°C for long-term preservation. - Tissue Samples: Fresh-frozen tissues should be stored at -80°C, while formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues can be stored at room temperature. - RNA and DNA: Nucleic acids should be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation.
