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.

hello,RNA can be stored in microtubes at -80°C without degradation but it's important to thaw on ice and centrifuge before use.michel

May I know why it has to centrifuge before use?

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.

I thought typical longer term storage was as a pellet in alcohol at -80.
