Storing and handling lyophilized research material

Lyophilized material is shipped freeze-dried to preserve integrity in transit. Sealed lyophilized vials are generally stored cold and kept away from light and moisture; refer to the storage statement provided for the specific product.

Allow a cold vial to reach room temperature before opening to reduce condensation inside the vial.

Handle reference materials in a clean laboratory environment using appropriate personal protective equipment and standard laboratory practice.

Record the batch/lot number in your lab notes so results remain traceable to a specific certificate of analysis.
