Biological samples need proper storage to ensure their viability for diagnostic testing. Best practices include:
Temperature Monitoring: Store samples at the required temperature and monitor regularly to ensure stability. Labeling and Documentation: Clearly label samples with patient information and collection time. Maintain accurate records for tracking. Avoid Free-Thaw Cycles: Minimize the number of freeze-thaw cycles to prevent sample degradation. Secure Storage: Use secure storage facilities to prevent unauthorized access and potential tampering.
