PNI twitter: I need to store some DBS samples for a few months for cytokine assays. For logistical reasons, I need a new small/midsize freezer. I could spend $4-6k on a -20/-30 freezer from thermo fisher. Or, I could spend ~$1k on a commercial freezer w/similar specs. Advice?

(My impression of DBS storage is that cytokines are relatively stable at least -20, but I havenāt tested it. Does anyone have data/experience of that not being true?)
