- Before reconstitution, after reconstitution, and during transport, Adamax storage requirements differ significantly. The table below clarifies optimal conditions and acceptable short-term deviations at each stage.
- Lyophilised powder (long-term)
- −20°C
- 12–24 months
- Yes. Store in original amber vial or foil-wrapped
- Borosilicate glass vial
- Freezer must maintain consistent −20°C; avoid frost-free freezers with defrost cycles
- Lyophilised powder (short-term)
- 2–8°C
- 3–6 months
- Yes
- Acceptable if reconstitution is planned within months; refrigerator middle shelf only
- Reconstituted solution
- 28 days
- Yes. Amber vial or secondary light barrier
- Do not freeze after reconstitution; each freeze-thaw cycle reduces potency 10–20%
- Transport (cold chain)
- 24–48 hours
- Indirect (insulated packaging)
- Original sealed vial inside cooler
- Use gel packs, not loose ice; verify cold pack is still cold upon arrival
- Short-term deviation (unavoidable)
- 15–20°C
- Up to 6 hours
- Original vial
- Potency loss minimal if returned to proper storage quickly; do not repeat
