Highlights from this day
anyone tested a vial before and after a bad transit
quick one hotel minibars are frequently not cold enough. i take a thermometer, which is ridiculous and also correct
genuine question a liquid cold pack tells you it was above freezing, not that your vial cooked
buy a thermometer
unrelated but light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton
i left it out overnight by accident, bin it or use it
i left a reconstituted vial out overnight once, sent it for testing out of curiosity, it came back fine
Reminder set. I will post here in 3 days.
powder is robust
buy a thermometer. mine reads 6.2 on the door and two degrees lower at the back
door shelf or back of the fridge
does anyone freeze reconstituted vials or is that madness

power cut for 5 hours, fridge stayed shut, am i fine
genuine question nobody here can tell you a vial is safe. we can tell you what has and has not survived for us
a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation
does the amber vial thing matter or is it marketing
sorry to jump in reconstituted solution is the fragile part. that is where the cold chain actually earns its keep
how do you keep it cold on a long drive in summer
do you log the fridge temperature or is that too far
does the fridge in a hotel room count as a fridge
