[Histonet] Isopentane storage-the polling is open

[Paula Sicurello]

Hello HistoNetters,

I have been having a discussion with my boss about whether or not to store
the isopentane (used for freezing muscle biopsies) in the refrigerator. (An
expensive, explosion proof one that I would have to buy.)

Her only experience is with the isopentane stored in the refrigerator, my
experiences are with storing it at room temperature.

What do you all do?  Room temp or refrigerated?

Any and all comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Paula
