i left a reconstituted vial out overnight once, sent it for testing out of curiosity, it came back fine

EE

is a five pound fridge thermometer actually worth it

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

TO

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

do i need to worry about light exposure or is that overthinking

door shelf or back of the fridge

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

light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton, thats one data point

freezing reconstituted peptide is the one thing this channel has never agreed on, i could be wrong

CC

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

i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why
