Proper storage is an important part of maintaining the quality and integrity of laboratory research materials.
This guide provides general information on storage practices. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or product-specific documentation where available.
Before Preparation
Lyophilised (freeze-dried) research materials should generally be:
- Stored according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Kept in a cool, dry environment.
- Protected from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
- Left in their original packaging until required.
Storage recommendations may vary between products, so always review the information provided for your specific item.
After Preparation
Once a product has been prepared, storage requirements may change.
General laboratory practice includes:
- Storing prepared materials according to the manufacturer’s guidance.
- Keeping products protected from unnecessary light and heat.
- Using clean, sterile handling techniques to minimise contamination.
- Clearly labelling prepared materials where appropriate.
Maintaining Product Quality
To help preserve product quality:
- Keep products in their original containers where possible.
- Avoid repeated exposure to heat or sunlight.
- Handle products using appropriate laboratory techniques.
- Regularly inspect products before use. Do not use any material that appears discoloured, cloudy, or contains unexpected particles.
Good Laboratory Practice
Proper storage is only one part of maintaining research quality.
Good laboratory practice also includes:
- Using sterile equipment.
- Cleaning vial stoppers before each use.
- Avoiding cross-contamination between products.
- Following the manufacturer’s instructions for handling and storage.
