cDNA storage - (Sep/18/2008 )

Hi, I've done a RT-PCR. can I store my cDNA at -80° or is better at -20°?
in which conditions Is it degradable?
thanks

I store mine at -20C and they work fine.

If you want to store them for a long time like months or so, store them at -80C.
otherwise -20C is ok as far as I know. I store mine at -20C for about three weeks and they are doing fine.

Is DNA copy still be DNA so store the same as regular DNA at -20C. The RNA is the one that should be store at -80C.
