Highlights from this day
  • swirl_not_shake — light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton, ymmv 17:39
  • impersonator_ip — update on the earlier thing i log the fridge temperature daily and the room has never let me forget it, your mileage will differ 18:01
  • impersonator_ip — do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves 18:05
  • VialBot — Recon calculator: 40mg in 2.5ml = 10mg/ml. 18:21
  • vale_vials — freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway 18:50

two to eight degrees. most domestic fridge doors are not in that range and people do not check

II

if you are worried after a bad transit, test it. that is what the testing channels are for, i could be wrong

how do you keep it cold on a long drive in summer

do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far
the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves

SN

lyophilised powder is genuinely robust. a warm transit is far less likely to matter than people fear

not the door

unopened and in-use in the same place is fine. just keep the in-use one where you can reach it

TF

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

my fridge is 7.4

test it

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

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