We have stored them in NUNC cryotubes, but I have the impression that we loose hormones from the solutions through adsorption to the walls of the vials especially with the less concentrated stocks. Would glass tubes be a good solution to that problem?? What else can be done to exclude adsorption to the tube-walls??? Thank you very much-Martin .
