Travelling with your pens

Each peptide has its own storage requirements: temperature, tolerance outside the cold, how long it keeps after first use. Before any trip, reread your product's protocol, received with your order (Storage section). This page covers transport; the protocol covers your specific product.

The enemy is heat: a car interior in full sun goes over 50 °C in summer. Carry your pens in a small soft cooler with an ice pack, in the air-conditioned cabin, never in the trunk, never in a car parked in the sun.

Avoid direct contact between the pen and the ice pack: a mixed pen that freezes can be just as degraded as an overheated one.

The hold can freeze: your pens travel in the cabin, in an insulated pouch with an ice pack. At security, keep them in their original packaging, show them to the officer and allow a few extra minutes.

First thing on arrival: the fridge, the one in your room, or ask the front desk for one; hotels do this routinely. No minibar that freezes, no windowsill. For a few hours between two stops at a refrigerator, the insulated pouch in the shade is enough.

Import rules vary greatly from one country to another: what you carry without difficulty here may be refused elsewhere. Before an international trip, check the rules of your destination country (customs and health).

Always carry your pens in their original packaging, with the label and batch number visible. We cannot assure you that our products will be admitted outside Canada, and anyone who assures you of that should make you wary.
