Different samples necessitate different storage conditions:
Refrigeration: Certain tissues and reagents need to be refrigerated at 4°C to maintain their viability. Freezing: Some samples, like frozen sections, need to be stored at -20°C or -80°C to prevent degradation. Room Temperature: Paraffin-embedded tissues can be stored at room temperature but should be kept in a dry, dark environment to prevent oxidation and degradation.
