Can library preparation reagents be stored in a frost free freezer?

Frost-free freezers undergo cycles of light thawing to prevent the formation of frost build up. Therefore, frost-free freezers are not generally recommended due to variation in temperature. It can be helpful to use freezers that retain temperature-logging data to confirm that reagents are kept within the recommended range at all times.
