# Recommended Storage Temperature for Infinium BeadChips (2–8°C)

Infinium BeadChips are shipped at room temperature (RT). Upon receipt, BeadChips should be transferred to storage at 2-8 °C to maintain optimal performance and data quality.

The recommended storage temperature is indicated on both the foil packaging and the BeadChip box label. Always verify and follow the storage conditions specified on the product packaging.

If BeadChips have been stored at room temperature for an extended period or outside the recommended conditions, data quality may be affected. If there are any concerns regarding performance or results, contact Illumina Technical Support at <techsupport@illumina.com> for further guidance.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/microarray/general/microarray-general-reference_material-list/000002839.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
