  • madrid_mg — power cut with the door shut for a few hours is fine. a full fridge holds temperature surprisingly well 20:21
  • freeze_thaw — do i need to worry about light exposure or is that overthinking lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear 20:46
  • freeze_thaw — do you keep the unopened vials and the in-use one in the same place 21:42

i log the fridge temperature daily and the room has never let me forget it

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

anyone tested a vial before and after a bad transit

FT

do you keep the unopened vials and the in-use one in the same place

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

sorry to jump in coming back after 20 months, is the pinned storage table still current

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