Highlights from this day
do you keep the unopened vials and the in-use one in the same place
power cut for 9 hours, fridge stayed shut, am i fine
lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear
thats fine
i keep everything at the back of the middle shelf, never the door
power cut with the door shut for a few hours is fine. a full fridge holds temperature surprisingly well

update from 13 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety

i left it out overnight by accident, bin it or use it
for flying, hand luggage every time. the hold is not temperature controlled the way people assume
coming back after 23 months, is the pinned storage table still current
two to eight
the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted
my fridge is 7.4
hand luggage
if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for
best travel setup for 25 days away with vials
do i need to worry about light exposure or is that overthinking
buy a thermometer. mine reads 4.8 on the door and two degrees lower at the back
how do you keep it cold on a long drive in summer
anyone tested a vial before and after a bad transit

buy a thermometer
not the freezer
freeze debate again
i would bin it
how long is reconstituted actually good for at room temperature
i have never had a lyophilised vial fail after a warm transit and i have had some bad ones
a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive

hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct

i would use it
log it
solution is not
back of the fridge
