For plasmids, I think the best long-term option is to send them to Addgene (as long as they’re ready for public use).

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.
