About this document

Lyophilisation - Long-Term Storage For Bacterial Strains - Culture Collections by soniasoniasonia is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Lyophilisation, or freeze-drying, is a method for long-term storage of bacterial strains, allowing for viability of Enterobacteriaceae for over 50 years and most anaerobes for about 20 years. The NCTC offers a contract freeze-drying service for preserving bacterial or fungal cultures, providing options in glass ampoules or capped vials, with detailed viability and purity reports. This technique minimizes strain manipulation and laboratory adaptation, ensuring the integrity of bacterial collections.
