Long-term room temperature preservation of biological samples is essential for ensuring sample integrity without the need for refrigeration. Scientific methods such as cryoprotectants, desiccation, and stabilizing agents have been developed to maintain DNA, RNA, and protein quality over extended periods. These methods prevent degradation and microbial growth while preserving genetic material for accurate analysis. Room temperature storage is particularly beneficial in resource-limited settings and fieldwork, making it ideal for forensic, clinical, and research applications. The ability to store samples at ambient temperatures simplifies logistics and reduces storage costs.
