Highlights from this day
  • sulphur_burp — nobody here can tell you a vial is safe. we can tell you what has and has not survived for us, i think 19:13
  • sulphur_burp — unopened and in-use in the same place is fine. just keep the in-use one where you can reach it 19:37
  • sulphur_burp — freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway, still working it out 19:41
  • sulphur_burp — sorry to jump in i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why 19:47

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

i would use it

is a five pound fridge thermometer actually worth it

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