Labeled material can be stored for 2 weeks at -20 degrees C.

Typical shelf life for expression arrays are as follows:
- All ≥ 8 µm commercial expression cartridges are stable up to 24 months.
- All ≥ 8 µm commercial resequencing cartridges are stable up to 18 months.
- All ≥ 8 µm commercial expression plates are stable up to 18 months.

Please note that this excludes products such as Exon or Gene array as they are 5 µm cartridge and plates.

For IVT assays, the RIN should be 6 or higher. For WT assays, there are no recommendations based on assay priming.
