We do not have GC/MS available in our Lab, therefore I need to send Tissue samples to the company for metabolomic analysis. The out source Lab has to perform derivatization and extraction and analysis itself. But I am looking for sample storage method, because I want to store tissue samples up to one month and later I would like to transport all sample together. For this reason, I am afraid If long storage might impact samples.
Can you Please Suggest me any better method for tissue sample storage or suggest me any related articles or source I should apply to manage sample storage properly..?
Thanks in advance :)
The ideal would be lyophilize and macerate the tissue samples, keeping their integrity. You will not have problem with the sample conditioning and it is easier to transport.
Thaís Pedrete Thank you for your prompt reply, ... how, if I use liquid nitrogen only to cryogenize tissue and store at -80degree-C.. ! Will that also be ok??? and store samples for one month
Abdul Rehman you can also do that, but you have to keep in mind that the samples should be transported to the company with dry ice in a thermal box with proper conditioning
