i have never had a lyophilised vial fail after a warm transit and i have had some bad ones

TL

is there a difference in stability between the compounds

RS

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

does anyone freeze reconstituted vials or is that madness

GV

a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive, we shall see

does the amber vial thing matter or is it marketing

update from 16 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety

RS

update on the earlier thing buy a thermometer. mine reads 7.4 on the door and two degrees lower at the back

door shelf or back of the fridge

TL

genuine question best travel setup for 25 days away with vials
freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway

IW

hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct

*PeptideMeter not the other one

thats fine

SN

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