Hi Geniene, regarding your question you should take a look at the Genca Standard under http://www.genca.org or you can email them as well under gesa@gesa.org.au regarding your question but what i have found for your Information is in the Genca on page 33 under (storage) however by saying that you should take into consideration about your whole process to make sure everything is correct when it Comes to the reprocessing, drying, monitoring and storage condition of the whole process is perfect for a Long storage condition. This is a hot Topic that one. Good luck finding the best practice. Jacqueline Elysee PEREG GmbH Germany
