Being old school I was taught that antibodies do not get stored in a frostless
freezer.  I am now being told that the
new frostless freezers do not go above -13°C during the defrost cycle and it is
safe to use.  Teach this old dog a new
trick, is anyone using a frostless freezer for storing antibodies?
