comment on Sweden: excursion, and what it actually costs here in c/coldchain · 30 points · 1 year ago
Correction: that stability figure covers the lyophilised powder, not the reconstituted solution. Different claim entirely.

I would not freeze it in solution. That is a different failure mode and a worse one.

Disagree with the "more water is safer" framing. It is not safer, it is just a different number to divide by.

twice as much water halves the concentration and doubles the units for the same dose

What concentration did you actually reconstitute at, rather than what did you intend to?
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify gas fees in c/cryptopay · 6 points · 1 year ago
Confirmations are the count of blocks built on top of the one containing your transaction. Until there are some, the transaction is not settled in any meaningful sense.

escrow arrangements are rare and worth asking about
comment on the pharmacy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/glp1eu · 249 points · 1 year ago
Yes. Pack sizes differ enough that per-month price comparisons across borders need to be normalised before they mean anything.
comment on [Meta] the 503B rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/compounding · 33 points · 1 year ago
the pharmacy and the prescriber are two separate questions

the shortage list is the whole legal hinge and people skip it
comment on reading BPC-157 threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/bpc157 · 129 points · 1 year ago
It is a fifteen-residue peptide with a published sequence, which makes synthesis straightforward and makes identity verification the meaningful test rather than an optional extra.

pentadecapeptide, fifteen residues, and the sequence is public
comment on [Question] New Zealand — has anyone got a straight answer on lyophilised in c/coldchain · 17 points · 2 years ago
Split an order across two months deliberately to compare summer and winter transit on the same lane.
plain_titration_2024 is right that the pack failing is not the material failing. Two separate claims.
comment on [Vendor] JEEP order #6 — Ireland, 13 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/coldchain · 1 points · 2 years ago
Kept a vial at room temperature for eleven days by accident. Tested it out of guilt. It was fine.
comment on [Discussion] mg/mL is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · 171 points · 2 years ago
Agreed on the swirl. There is no reason to shake it and a good reason not to.
comment on [Discussion] mg/mL is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/reconstitution · 67 points · 2 years ago
Not quite. Bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable for a multi-draw vial, and the difference is the preservative.

the memo field matters on the chains that use one

Purity by area percent tells you the sample is homogeneous. Mass spectrometry tells you what the homogeneous thing is. For a short peptide, the second question is the one worth paying for.
comment on [Lab] 6th independent test on SWB — 99.1% on a claimed 99.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/orforglipron · 8 points · 2 years ago
Small fix — the two programme names got swapped upthread and it changes which population the figure came from.
comment on the Apotheke thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/glp1eu · 95 points · 2 years ago
That is an authorisation question and you have answered a reimbursement one. They are decided by different bodies.

short peptides are cheap, which cuts both ways
comment on [Question] small molecule — what am I missing here in c/orforglipron · 15 points · 2 years ago
daily dosing, not weekly, so the exposure profile is different
comment on [Question] small molecule — what am I missing here in c/orforglipron · 26 points · 2 years ago
Not convinced. Oral semaglutide is a peptide formulated with an absorption enhancer; the comparison you are making does not hold.
comment on does lyophilised actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/coldchain · 114 points · 2 years ago
lyophilised powder is far more forgiving than the panic threads suggest
comment on [Discussion] the mg/mL advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/reconstitution · 4 points · 2 years ago
Cosigning the round-number approach. Reconstituting to something awkward is how you end up drawing 27.5 units at six in the morning.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about reconstitution is guesswork in c/reconstitution · 66 points · 2 years ago
The dead space question sent me down a rabbit hole for a week. It is a fraction of a unit and it is the same every draw.

transit temperature is a distribution, not a number
comment on [Discussion] data logger is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/coldchain · 294 points · 2 years ago
A transit temperature logger records a distribution, and time above a threshold matters as much as peak temperature. That is the argument for logging rather than guessing.

bacteriostatic water has the preservative, sterile water does not
