Highlights from this day
- tga_notice — power cut with the door shut for a few hours is fine. a full fridge holds temperature surprisingly well 14:08
- tga_notice — lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear, ask me again in a month 14:33
- tga_notice — the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is heat. plan for the season you are in 14:36
- knees_first — follow up does the amber vial thing matter or is it marketing 15:13
what temperature does a domestic fridge door actually swing to

the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves, from memory

freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway
i left a reconstituted vial out overnight once, sent it for testing out of curiosity, it came back fine
best travel setup for 26 days away with vials
is a five pound fridge thermometer actually worth it
anyone had a vial visibly change after a warm transit

do you keep the unopened vials and the in-use one in the same place
reconstituted solution is the fragile part. that is where the cold chain actually earns its keep
