Highlights from this day
- auckland_aliquot — lyophilised at room temp for 22 days in transit, worried or not 19:53
- fridge_thermo — the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is heat. plan for the season you are in 21:47
- swab_dry_first — coming back after 10 months, is the pinned storage table still current 22:10
does anyone freeze reconstituted vials or is that madness
do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far

thats fine

for flying, hand luggage every time. the hold is not temperature controlled the way people assume
not the freezer

i would bin it
two to eight
two to eight degrees. most domestic fridge doors are not in that range and people do not check
freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway
freeze debate again
💀2🔥1
power cut for 6 hours, fridge stayed shut, am i fine
Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0329. Nothing logged either way.
log it
solution is not
the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves, i think
i would use it
gel packs
back of the fridge
i keep everything at the back of the middle shelf, never the door
unopened and in-use in the same place is fine. just keep the in-use one where you can reach it, thats one data point
do i need to worry about light exposure or is that overthinking
powder is robust
buy a thermometer. mine reads 4 on the door and two degrees lower at the back
i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why

if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for, someone check my working

what temperature does a domestic fridge door actually swing to
reconstituted solution is the fragile part. that is where the cold chain actually earns its keep

how cold is too cold, can it actually freeze in a normal fridge
buy a thermometer
my fridge is 4
light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton
hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct, ask me again in a month
my fridge is running at 6.2, is that out of range
