Highlights from this day
- declared_value — the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted 14:27
- auckland_aliquot — the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves 14:39
- declared_value — freezing reconstituted peptide is the one thing this channel has never agreed on 15:11
- declared_value — the practical risk in winter shipping is freezing, and in summer it is heat. plan for the season you are in, thats just me 15:12
update from 3 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety

i keep everything at the back of the middle shelf, never the door
the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves
mon 4.1 / door 7.2
tue 4.0 / door 7.8
wed 4.2 / door 6.9
thu 3.9 / door 7.4
fri 4.1 / door 8.1 <- shopping day
sat 4.3 / door 7.0
sun 4.0 / door 6.8i left it out overnight by accident, bin it or use it
i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why
unopened and in-use in the same place is fine. just keep the in-use one where you can reach it, anyway
a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation
