I am using Silencer Select Pre-Designed siRNA. Do I need to aliquot the siRNA after resuspension to avoid repeated freezing and thawing?

Silencer Select siRNA resuspended at concentrations ≥2 µM can undergo up to 50 freeze-thaw cycles without significant degradation. We recommend storing the resuspended siRNA at -20 degrees C or -80 degrees C. If you plan to exceed 50 freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend making a few large aliquots after resuspension and limiting each aliquot to 50 freeze-thaws. Further, we recommend storing the aliquots that are not in use at -70 to -80 degrees C for long-term storage.
