Best practices typically recommend storing below the glass transition (Tg) of water, approximately -135°C. During routine sample access though, which is part of the normal life cycle of the product, thousands of adjacent (innocent) samples are exposed to ambient temperature for various, unmonitored durations. This exposure can represent a +200°C gradient between the freezer and the ambient environment. Ther
