[Room temperature RNA storage can be done using Imagene's capsules, which enable longterm, stable RNA storage. ]_Design of Imagene RNAshell minicapsules for long-term RNA storage. Image courtesy of Imagene._ To extend the lifespan of RNA samples, Imagene developed a storage solution in which dehydrated RNA samples are stored in glass tubes and sealed inside stainless steel “minicapsules”. The atmosphere in these storage vessels is largely argon and helium with less than 1 ppm of oxygen and water4. Head-to-head comparisons suggest RNA samples stored in these minicapsules are at least as viable as samples stored in ultra-cold conditions5. Simulations also indicate that the encapsulated RNA is likely to be stable under room temperature for up to a decade2.
