Highlights from this day
- two_four_ceiling — coming back after 22 months, is the pinned storage table still current 21:02
- two_four_ceiling — the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves 21:11
- two_four_ceiling — lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear 21:55

reconstituted solution is the fragile part. that is where the cold chain actually earns its keep
best travel setup for 7 days away with vials

hand luggage

i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why
update from 14 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety
Inter-lab diff for lot D-0718: 97.4% vs 96.8%. Within expected range.
buy a thermometer. mine reads 6.2 on the door and two degrees lower at the back
does anyone freeze reconstituted vials or is that madness

i left it out overnight by accident, bin it or use it
freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway
do you keep the unopened vials and the in-use one in the same place
anyone tested a vial before and after a bad transit

for flying, hand luggage every time. the hold is not temperature controlled the way people assume, ask me again in a month
