- chlorhex — power cut with the door shut for a few hours is fine. a full fridge holds temperature surprisingly well 16:50
- chlorhex — lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear 18:07
- chlorhex — coming back after 1 months, is the pinned storage table still current 18:16
- hot_mailbox — i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why 18:20

flying with vials, hand luggage or checked
my fridge is 5.6
if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for
powder is robust
door shelf or back of the fridge
while im here the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is heat. plan for the season you are in, ask me again in a month
thats fine
update from 20 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety
