[Explainer] excursion tables, and why "it got warm" is not a data point
excursion tables, and why "it got warm" is not a data point. It comes up every few weeks and the answer has not changed. Kept a vial at room temperature for eleven days by accident. Tested it out of guilt. It was fine. Wrote the reconstitution date on the vial for the first time last year. Have never once since…
Regional stock changes the question rather than answering it: shorter lanes mean less exposure and fewer variables, which is why the warehouse question is worth asking before ordering in summer.

regional stock removes most of this problem entirely
Ordered from the warehouse in Sweden instead of origin and the transit went from a fortnight to 10 days. Entirely different proposition in August.
You cannot infer potency from a temperature record. The record tells you what happened to the box; only a test tells you what happened to the material.
Where in the fridge is it sitting now?
Split an order across two months deliberately to compare summer and winter transit on the same lane. Four days difference, same carrier.
