[Question] reconstituted vial left out for five hours — bin it or not
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud. The advice on cold chain in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with…
The gel pack lasted 15 hours in a courier van, then liquid. Powder itself fine, the cold chain mostly died in transit.
the Netherlands to the Netherlands: 21 days with JEEP and 36 days with SSA. Same route, different carriers, variance is real.
Not to be pedantic but ice pack and cold chain are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
Logger trace from my shipment: 23 hours at 17°C. Powder tested 98.6% against 98.4% claim. Tolerates more than the box implies.
