We aren't propagating at intervals currently. However, it's something that could be done; batch samples could be set aside for that purpose alone, also, one control sample could be divided and tested every 5 years. It's an interesting question: if I culture my cells after 20 years, then preserve them for 20 more, is the viability higher than 40 years of preservation alone?

Thanks for the question.
