- spreadsheet_stu — anyone tested a vial before and after a bad transit 17:44
- manila_meniscus — what temperature does a domestic fridge door actually swing to 18:21

the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is heat. plan for the season you are in
hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct
thats fine
my fridge is 5.6
how long is reconstituted actually good for at room temperature
best travel setup for 11 days away with vials
does the fridge in a hotel room count as a fridge
coming back after 25 months, is the pinned storage table still current
i would bin it
i would use it
i left it out overnight by accident, bin it or use it
