a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that your vial cooked

Highlights from this day
- border_force_bex — hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct 13:47
- VialBot — Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0114. Nothing logged either way. 13:53
- cold_pack_carla — i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why 14:27
- border_force_bex — the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted 15:20

does the fridge in a hotel room count as a fridge
if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for

how cold is too cold, can it actually freeze in a normal fridge
back of the fridge

nobody here can tell you a vial is safe. we can tell you what has and has not survived for us
the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves
the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted
anyone had a vial visibly change after a warm transit
update from 10 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety
freeze debate again
for flying, hand luggage every time. the hold is not temperature controlled the way people assume
