i left a reconstituted vial out overnight once, sent it for testing out of curiosity, it came back fine, i think

Recon calculator: 15mg in 0.5ml = 10mg/ml.

for the archive if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for, still working it out

power cut for 2 hours, fridge stayed shut, am i fine

quick one my fridge is running at 3.1, is that out of range

Reminder for pinch_not_stretch: dose day is today. Set 7 days ago.

follow up the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted

buy a thermometer. mine reads 6.2 on the door and two degrees lower at the back

do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far

sorry to jump in coming back after 18 months, is the pinned storage table still current

i keep everything at the back of the middle shelf, never the door

thats fine

two to eight

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

does the amber vial thing matter or is it marketing

genuine question how cold is too cold, can it actually freeze in a normal fridge

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

lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear
a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive

i have never had a lyophilised vial fail after a warm transit and i have had some bad ones

unopened and in-use in the same place is fine. just keep the in-use one where you can reach it

not the freezer

freeze debate again

does the fridge in a hotel room count as a fridge

a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation, thats just me

flying with vials, hand luggage or checked
