- queue_position — if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is… 21:44
- ten_of_ten — do i need to worry about light exposure or is that overthinking 22:30
- amylin_amy — light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton, thats one data point 22:35
- two_three_lifts — how long is reconstituted actually good for at room temperature 22:38
if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for
the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is heat. plan for the season you are in
what temperature does a domestic fridge door actually swing to
i left a reconstituted vial out overnight once, sent it for testing out of curiosity, it came back fine
is a five pound fridge thermometer actually worth it
freeze debate again
hand luggage
flying with vials, hand luggage or checked
hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct
a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that your vial cooked
do i need to worry about light exposure or is that overthinking
door shelf or back of the fridge
a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation
light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton, thats one data point
thats fine
how long is reconstituted actually good for at room temperature
freezing reconstituted peptide is the one thing this channel has never agreed on, i could be wrong
unopened and in-use in the same place is fine. just keep the in-use one where you can reach it
update on the earlier thing does the fridge in a hotel room count as a fridge
powder is robust
[edited]i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why
