Long‐term preservation methods are important in the maintenance of bacteria for downstream research applications. Most clinical laboratories have only limited resources for archiving isolates and therefore require cost‐effective and simple methods. An effective and cheap storage method using debrinated blood and maintenance at −80°C is described.
