Favorite storage case for freezer?

[Labcat]

I must be cheap reading how everyone stores their vials in the freezer. I literally just leave them in the plastic case and put them in the freezer 😆

I wrap my chemicals in a thick layer of those gel packs and then layers of bags, to smooth out trmperature fluctuations. If you do that in the freezer, you might be able to svoid the little defrost melt events if you’re using your regular frost free freezer.

I've just ordered 10 11cmx15cm bubble wrap mailers to put them into. It fits the entire plastic container. I was looking at getting an 80 vial peptide case but it would mean having to label them all at once since they don't have labels. I'd rather just label them as I need them.

I have too much shit in my freezers to just raw dog it like that. My peptide vials would get lost. I spent way too much money on them to just toss them in willy-nilly. Nope. They get a case that is easy to locate and an assigned spot in the freezer that no one is allowed to move.

My freezer only has my pre-made meals and my wife's dumplings and weird Asian wrap thing. I have a shelf on the door dedicated to my vials. The bubble wrap senders I've ordered should keep them safe enough....I hope lol. If they're good enough to send vials in, then they should be good enough to store them.

In the fridge they have a vial case though. Ordered a little Dymo Label Maker LT-100H to label my vials otherwise I'll forget whats, what.

Do you have a link ??

Even though they’re probably a bit pedestrian for most, I really like these cases. They’re cheap and the vials fit perfectly. And there are six different colors so you can color coordinate your peptides.

These are what I use and love them.

i went with the hydrapeak to protect it from thermal variation because i keep my peps in a mini fridge freezer down in the basement. they are also ready to travel/move/grab in a hurry if need be.

Me too. But mostly for the thaw/defrost cycle in the freezer.

I also got a 3D-printed, reusable sharps holder on the way, as well as case that holds six pens.

I like this one with a code lock, in my freezer. It can hold 8 kits, if you play a little Tetris. 🙂
(If you need a locked one)

Does it hold 8 kits in their original cases or do you have to put the vials in individually?

I 3d print rugged cases from printables. I cannot share the link.

I got that set on AliExpress for $1.94.

Of course, you can only get one at that price, but more available in the $7-$8 dollar range. Just be careful to confirm the listing states “silicon” or you may end up with a 3D printed version.

I just went and ordered my stuff right now. 1 32oz hydropeak and a set of the silicone inserts for about $45. That will hold a little less than 5 kits and I dont forsee needing more than that anytime soon. My current goal is to work through some of the supply I have.

 

[jordekorn]

I dump them in freezer bags and into a peptide case holder thing that zips. In their little holders they came in. I’ve never had moisture inside, so far. If I had a bigger freezer, I would def organize it better though.

Go to TJ Maxx (if you have one close by), and as long as color, pattern, etc are not an issue, you can find 32oz Hydropeaks for as little as $12. Check the clearance area.

Ugh..... Well I guess im going to the mall after work today.

It can be a little hit or miss, but I think 3 of the 4 TJ Maxx stores I went to had them. Check the back wall and clearance aisles. Bit of a treasure hunt.

Don't expect anything "cool" because they landed at TJ Maxx for a reason, but its all about the function. Good Luck!

For freezer storage, I went with a 32oz Hydrpeak and insert. Part of me wants to shrink-wrap it and throw it in a freezer bag… guess it’s turning into a hobby….

 

[neo6488]

So I went to TJ maxx. They had hydropeaks but not the food jar I was wanting. I ended up keeping my Amazon purchase and love it with the silicon inserts.

playing some tetris, it can hold 8 boxes.

 

[morrisultra]

Thank you very much, I'm going to buy one of that

 

[Danger1212]

Yes or no?

I had this Harbor Freight airtight, sealable, Pelican-style lockable case laying around, and it holds 16 kits perfectly.

I first bought a Hydropeak, but I’m quickly realizing it won’t hold everything I want. (I just started this research hobby)

Could I shrink-wrap the kits, place them in the case, lock it, and store it in the freezer?

What do you think?

 

[desinr-gal]

I see hydrapeak is a fav..but the reviews frequently say they do not keep food cold or hot for long. This seems like a real problem for the task we buy it for.

You’re not wrong. That comes up a lot in the reviews. From what I’ve seen, Hydrapeak is decent for the price, but it’s not top-tier insulation. It’ll hold temp fine for a few hours, but if you’re expecting all-day performance or using it in harsher conditions, it can fall short. Kind of one of those “good enough vs mission-critical” situations.

If your freezer goes out you may be hosed no matter what if you don’t catch it in time.

Not according to the paper insert from Pfizer for Hospira bac water:

“Store at 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F).”

The only place in my home 77F or under is the refrigerator. The wife and I fight for space in the vegetable crisper.

 

[Lovedog100]

The answer should really be Hospira water should be stored between 20-25c and not refrigerated. This is not a universal recommendation for ALL BAC water. I got an extreme amount of heat for saying this on STG where they are Hospira fanatics and won’t entertain any discussion of any other BAC water.

The reason Pfizer have set a 20-25c temp range is because they have received reports that their formulation (only Hospira, not all BAC water) suffers from a reversible precipitation of the benzyl alcohol at low temperatures. This is completely reversed when the water comes to room temperature and does not affect the efficacy of the benzyl alcohol. But to avoid any risk of people injecting precipitate if not leaving it come to room temp, and the fact that stability for 28 days is supported by data at room temperature, it is much easier to put a notice saying keep at room temp for 28 days to avoid any risk of injecting precipitate. If you are going over 28 days, which nearly everyone does then refrigeration starts to make more sense as it will further reduce microbial growth as the risk of that growth starts to rise. Whether it actually makes any practical difference to actual infections I am not sure. It probably depends how meticulous you are when you recon, how many times you spike the vial, and a bit of luck, all mixed with how long you extend the 28 day period. For most MDVs you’d be expecting to stab it 20-30 times but for peptides it’s probably closer to 10 and that reduces the risk quite a bit. Personally I’ve kept BAC in the fridge with no signs of precipitation at any time, but I always allow it to come to room temperature before I reconstitute and thoroughly inspect it beforehand.

At my house it was 30c at midnight last night. Other than a refrigerator, what would you suggest?

Depends on the bac water.

Hospira? No
Nexus? No
PGB? Yes
Other? Per mfr instructions
