update from 21 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety

- munich_mgml — freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway 20:15
- relabel_watch — the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted 21:05
- relabel_watch — right so power cut with the door shut for a few hours is fine. a full fridge holds temperature surprisingly well 21:08
- VialBot — New independent result logged — MKM, lot KP-0925, purity 96.8% (Medutest). 21:30
does the amber vial thing matter or is it marketing
a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation

not the door
two to eight degrees. most domestic fridge doors are not in that range and people do not check
i would bin it
do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far

solution is not

for the archive freezing reconstituted peptide is the one thing this channel has never agreed on, take that with a pinch of salt
buy a thermometer. mine reads 4 on the door and two degrees lower at the back
*Medutest not the other one
i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why
coming back to this light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton
i log the fridge temperature daily and the room has never let me forget it
a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that your vial cooked
