Our -80C freezer broke and we're not sure if we can safely move them to our -150C freezer which can be set as low as -125C.
Hi, I agrre with the previous answer if you have "handmade" competent cells. If you have also "buyed" competent cells, I don't think it is a good idea. Some companies do not recommend temperature different than -80
Yes you can
They are shipped on dry ice. My inclination is to say yes, storable at -125C.
I agree, no problem in storing the cells at -125°C (might be even better than -80°C!).
Cheers, Christian
Thank you all very much!
