Highlights from this day
- provincial_pat — i log the fridge temperature daily and the room has never let me forget it, ill dig out the number 16:09
- mg_per_ml — freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway 17:00
- sharps_comedy — power cut with the door shut for a few hours is fine. a full fridge holds temperature surprisingly well lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far… 18:31
parcel sat in a hot mailbox for 7 hours, is it dead
freezing reconstituted peptide is the one thing this channel has never agreed on

anyone had a vial visibly change after a warm transit
gel packs
best travel setup for 25 days away with vials
what temperature does a domestic fridge door actually swing to
a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive, happy to be corrected
update from 7 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety
Recon calculator: 30mg in 0.5ml = 4mg/ml.
powder is robust
freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway

two to eight degrees. most domestic fridge doors are not in that range and people do not check

*that should say weekly
hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct
my fridge is running at 4.8, is that out of range
log it
i left a reconstituted vial out overnight once, sent it for testing out of curiosity, it came back fine
is there a difference in stability between the compounds
quick one reconstituted solution is the fragile part. that is where the cold chain actually earns its keep
power cut with the door shut for a few hours is fine. a full fridge holds temperature surprisingly well
lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear

the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted
coming back after 1 months, is the pinned storage table still current
my fridge is 3.1
quick one does the amber vial thing matter or is it marketing
i would use it
buy a thermometer. mine reads 3.1 on the door and two degrees lower at the back
how long is reconstituted actually good for at room temperature
two to eight
anyone tested a vial before and after a bad transit
thats fine
a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation, for what its worth
freeze debate again
do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far
