Can the MicroAmp TriFlex 3 x 32-Well PCR Reaction Plate (Cat. No. A32810, A32811) be frozen at -20 degrees C or below? If so, for how long?

TriFlex 3 x 32-well plate is made using polypropylene. Most of our plastics are rated for -20 degrees C storage and all should be fine up to 120 degrees C, but they will not withstand -80 degrees C as this will make them brittle with increased risk of cracks.
