Highlights from this day
- auckland_aliquot — flying with vials, hand luggage or checked 20:08
- coelution_cai — a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive 20:42
- marrow.mod — i left a reconstituted vial out overnight once, sent it for testing out of curiosity, it came back fine, not advice obviously 20:50
- marrow.mod — update on the earlier thing anyone had a vial visibly change after a warm transit 20:59
lyophilised at room temp for 26 days in transit, worried or not
i freeze aliquots and have had them test fine afterwards. others here would not do it and i understand why, ask me again in a month
freezing reconstituted peptide is the one thing this channel has never agreed on
i keep everything at the back of the middle shelf, never the door
for flying, hand luggage every time. the hold is not temperature controlled the way people assume
the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted
the door swings four or five degrees every time somebody opens it. the back barely moves

is there a difference in stability between the compounds

update from 6 months ago: replaced the fridge, temperature is stable, no more anxiety

*Janoshik not the other one
how cold is too cold, can it actually freeze in a normal fridge
a few hours at room temperature is almost certainly nothing. a week is a different conversation
nobody here can tell you a vial is safe. we can tell you what has and has not survived for us
light exposure matters much less than temperature for these. i still keep them in the carton
i would bin it
my fridge is running at 4, is that out of range
