The message this came from

tb500_tobias — do i need to worry about light exposure or is that overthinking 15:58

i keep everything at the back of the middle shelf, never the door

a cooler with two gel packs held under eight degrees for eleven hours on a drive

gel packs

freeze thaw cycling is the risk, not one freeze. that is my read of it anyway

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

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

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

buy a thermometer. mine reads 5.6 on the door and two degrees lower at the back

nobody here can tell you a vial is safe. we can tell you what has and has not survived for us

the vial that visibly changed after a warm transit was the one that had already been reconstituted

🧪1

does anyone freeze reconstituted vials or is that madness

flying with vials, hand luggage or checked

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