I have a mini fridge in my room for the peps I'm going to use in the next year. I got a 3D made case for them. Don't forget a Niibot labeler! The ones in long term storage go in the freezer. I use one of those zip-up soft lunch boxes with freezer packs in case the power goes out. It will fit 10 kits.
Ohhh nice I was looking at something like this the price pretty good too
It lives in my master bath, I’m noise sensitive, but don’t find the fan noise to be adverse, but I can hear it.
I have, and absolutely do with no problems. If there is degradation in the potency I havent noticed. I share this stuff with quite a few people and its easier just to freeze it having it on hand ready to go 😁
Do you think it’ll be an issue to store unused vials in their original cases inside a shared fridge then?
I hear stories of people who have family come over and they end up nosing around in their shit.
It's up to you. My lyophilized vials are in thermoses in a freezer. I pull out and recon what I need when I need it, which gets stored in the smaller fridge. The traffic in the freezer is considerably lower, the thermoses act as a barrier, the vials are still capped, and the vials get cleaned before reconstituting and use.
I 3D-print my own storage boxes for the vials. On each vial, I add a detailed label with as much information as possible: what the substance is, the exact mg amount, the date I froze the vial, the supplier/source it came from, and if available the QR code from Janoshik. I keep everything in my freezer right next to my cold plunge, and I’ve installed a temperature alarm that will notify me immediately if the freezer fails. With a large freezer, also with a freezer full of dense food in there as a thermal buffer to help maintain the cold temperature longer in case of a power outage or breakdown.
I have one of those Vacuum food sealers and was wondering if the vacuum could possibly mess up the vial stoppers?
It's very easy to outgrow a mini fridge.
I use this case, and put the case inside a plastic zipper bag to keep anything nasty from getting in.
Unless it in a power form maybe but mixed I'm not sure about doing that. I've observed very small bubbles around the rubber seal when I push a lot of pressure into a vial right before I extract my mix and transfer/filter it to a new vial. So I'm not sure how much negative pressure would affect that vial seal with the metal ring (crimp). I guess you could take an old vial, fill it up with water, and start sucking (applying vacuum/negative pressure) to see what happens... maybe even leave it under negative pressure for a month or so to test long-term effects? Funny as it is I have some commercial grade vacuum equipment that can pull to 300 microns. maybe ill sniff some SEMAX and give it a try? I just to 3D print a chamber that can hold that pressure!! i'm sure it's just going to implode !!!
Use a chamber vacuum sealer, have had no issues with vacuum sealing them.
The problem with those peltier fridges is their inside temperature is directly affected by ambient temperature. I have one and it's temperature swing is terrible 38⁰-47⁰ I'm not a fan personally
Is it bad to store a kit in the fridge or does it need to be frozen in the freezer? I just got a RT10 kit and put it in the fridge
Most freeze until you reconstitute it, including me.
Mine ranges from 33-40°F. In the winter I put it in low power mode for more buffer from freezing. I’ve never found ice not the thermometer over 40°.
