dear alexandra, DNA at least is extremely stable, so i'd just spot the plasmids onto filter paper (labelled with a pencil)... and send the spots to a trusted (young!) friend somewhere far away. at least i'd trust that more than any profit-oriented company. best jon

Oktober 2024 20:10 An: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Betreff: [ccp4bb] Commercial storage of biological samples Hello US-based structure enthusiasts: I would be interested in storing some of my biological samples (plasmids, cells, purified proteins) using a commercial storage service. I have looked at several options online, but I was hoping that perhaps someone out there has some first-hand experience that he/she would be willing to share. Thank you very much.
