How Efficient is Your Lab? Part 4 - Maintaining Optimal Sample Quality During Transportation

Placing a cryogenic sample in dry ice is like dropping an ice cube into boiling water, a temperature differential of around 90°C, coupled with the enhanced convection and conductive when sample tubes are placed directly in contact with dry ice can cause sample temperature to rise quickly. The temperature differential between a cryogenic sample and dry ice is around 90°C.

Safe Storage Temperatures for Biological Materials

Good storage practices of biological materials is an essential component of any laboratory. Biological samples often degrade over time when stored at room temperature, but some samples may also lose integrity at low temperatures if subjected to multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

For Cryogenic Samples, Dry Ice Is Unwise

Scientists often place cryogenic samples on dry ice during transport. However, research shows putting these samples on dry ice can warm them faster than exposure to room temperature.
