Hi Prakitnavin,

Enriched DNA Capture Beads may be stored at -20°C. While this may increase the shelf life, ideally the beads should be sequenced within two weeks as indicated in the emPCR Method Manual. All manuals can be found on the customer-accessible area of our website at www.454.com/my454.

Please feel free to contact your local Roche representative with any additional questions.
