- FRIO Evaporative Wallet
- 18–26°C ambient reduction
- 36–48 hours with water activation
- Excellent. Reusable, no liquids, no power
- No. Insufficient cooling for reconstituted solutions
- Best for lyophilised peptides during short trips under 48 hours; inadequate for hydrated compounds requiring true refrigeration
- Phase-Change Hard Cooler
- 2–8°C when properly configured
- 24–36 hours with quality packs
- Good. Requires declaration, subject to inspection
- Yes. Maintains required range with thermal mass buffer
- Gold standard for reconstituted peptides; requires backup cold packs and thermal mass planning; verify with temperature data logger
- Standard Ice Cooler
- 0–4°C (risk of freezing)
- 12–18 hours
- Moderate. Ice melt creates liquid inspection issues
- No. Freezing risk damages peptides
- Dangerous for peptides due to 0°C ice contact and rapid melt; never appropriate for research compounds
- Hotel Mini-Fridge
- 1–12°C (highly variable, uncalibrated)
- Indefinite if functional
- N/A. Destination storage only
- Conditional. Only with independent thermometer verification
- Acceptable for short-term storage (1–3 nights) only if you verify actual temperature with portable thermometer; many cycle unpredictably
- Checked Airline Baggage
- −20°C to 30°C (uncontrolled cargo hold)
- N/A. No temperature control
- Poor. Lack of control creates compliance risk
- Never. Guaranteed thermal excursion
- Unacceptable for any peptide requiring refrigeration; cargo hold temperatures fluctuate wildly and unpredictably
