I am looking for a way to store RNA long term (longer than a few years) without it degrading. Presently we are considering using cryovials to prevent evaporation. Any other suggestions would be great. Thank you.

To make sure that you have all of it in the bottom of the tube...
Incidentally you should also look at the last post date - 2001 - means you probably won't get a response from one of the original posters.
