Can test reagents be frozen

[Ippyroy]

I am getting ready for the winter and I am wondering if it is ok for test reagents to freeze? The chances of them freezing during shipment would be pretty high since 40 below zero is rather common. Thanks

I doubt it will freeze, its always in motion until it gets to you. Then you put it on your shelf, nice and warm.
Could also ask for it to be bubble wrapped prior to shipping too

Freezing probably won’t change the molecular biology of the agents. No experience with this but my guess is that they will be OK as long as they’re 100% defrosted before using. Bump for a more experienced user...
