- Temperature Range
- 2–8°C (verified with thermometer)
- Storing at 10–15°C or room temp
- 15–30% potency loss within 72 hours; bacterial growth accelerates
- Shelf Placement
- Middle shelf, away from door
- Door shelf or top shelf near freezer
- Temperature fluctuates 2–4°C per door cycle; peptide aggregation risk
- Needle Reuse
- New sterile needle for every draw
- Reusing same needle 2–3 times
- Particulate contamination; stopper degradation; 3–4× contamination rate
- Stopper Swabbing
- 70% isopropyl alcohol, 15-second dry time before each puncture
- No swabbing or insufficient dry time
- Surface bacteria introduced into vial; clouding by day 14–18
- Pressure Equalisation
- Inject equivalent air volume after drawing dose
- Withdraw needle immediately after draw
- Vacuum pulls contaminants back through needle; faster bacterial growth
- Expiration Tracking
- Label with reconstitution date; discard at day 28
- Tracking from BAC water opening date or guessing timeline
- Using degraded or contaminated solution; potency unreliable past 28 days
