for flying, hand luggage every time. the hold is not temperature controlled the way people assume

Batch lookup B-0329: 9 independent reports on file, earliest 2024-08-25.

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

do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far

not the door

not the freezer

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

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

lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear

does anyone freeze reconstituted vials or is that madness
a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive

lyophilised at room temp for 17 days in transit, worried or not

i left it out overnight by accident, bin it or use it

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

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

Reminder for provincial_pat: dose day is today. Set 6 days ago.

a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive

slightly off topic but hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct

a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation

test it
