Stability of cerebrospinal fluid for PCR analysis

[Jan Egil Afset]

Do anyone have experience with the quality of PCR anlysis of cerebrospinal fluid for viral RNA/DNA and bacterial DNA after long periods (months) storage at suboptimal conditions (eg room/ fridge/-20 degree C tp). Do anyone know about not so expensive transport containers (fridge tp/ -20 or -70 degree c) that can be used for intercontinental air transport?
