I accidentally left my OpenArray e.g. Vaginal Microbiota Comprehensive Plate (Cat. No. A39899), still sealed in foil package, at room temperature and it thawed. Can it still be used?
We do not have any extensive stability data on how long the array can sit at room temperature. Limited testing has shown that the extra freeze-thaw is fine. Therefore, the array may possibly still be good to use. We recommend returning the array to -20°C until you are ready to use it. If you have an array that was left out for an extended time, we recommend that you have a positive control so that the data can be compared to what you have historically seen.
