Some Chapters' gene-seed are inherently more stable than others, and variations in certain Chapters' methods of implantation have resulted in further degradation in some cases. The gene-seed of the [[Ultramarines]] is considered the most stable and thus they are the most preferred source of gene-seed for creating new Space Marine Chapters.{{Cite This}}
Geneseed is able to be stored through the use of [[Methalon Hyper-Freeze]], preserving it for future use. When gene-seed and harvested progenoid glands are typically transported in armoured geneseed flasks. A sizable transport container of these is often referred to as a [[Genovault]].{{Fn|16b}} One example of a genovault would be a methalon casket held aloft by [[suspensor]] fields which contains racks of armoured geneseed flasks.{{Fn|16a}} Other names for geneseed carrying containers include '''genecasque'''.{{Fn|17}}
