Can anyone tell me how to store graphene hydrogel samples?Do they have to be kept in water to maintain their integrity?

The hydrogel may be water only. If an alcohol-alcoholic gel. Dispersions used for storage stabilizers galenic arabic, gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol. Good gels stored for several weeks. It should be remembered that at some time in gels penetrate the bacteria that decompose stabilizers.

Best regards.
