How long is DNA stable in a freezer?

If the DNA is pure, it should last quite a long time. If there are enzymes and other biological molecules in there, -80C will work much better.



I think you could keep pure DNA at -20C practically indefinitely.



Purity is the main issue there, also pH stabilized, sealed properly, etc. That makes all the difference.
