[DIYbio] Re: How do you store your DNA constructs?

What I do to store plasmids at home... 


Take a marmelade jar (empty & clean of course). Put in about one centimeter of water. Freeze it. 

Then put the plasmids in. 


Because if the freezer does unfreeze (to get the ice away from it's pipes) cycle, the water acts as a cold sink and keeps the air and the plasmid cold... 
(I don't even know if my freezer can defrost, because it is quite old. But better on the safe side.
