So I tried storing my vial in the freezer and now I am sad

Posted by biohackguy72 in Side Effects and Safety

I thought I was being a master chemist by putting my backup supply of bpc in the kitchen deep freeze. Turns out deep freeze means the kind that shatters glass into a million microscopic diamonds. My lab bench looks like a crime scene from a low budget sci fi movie right now. Lesson learned about temperature gradients and glassware limits. Next time I will just use a standard fridge instead of trying to flash freeze everything like an overly enthusiastic food network chef. Science is truly pain and expensive mistakes.

F in the chat for your wallet man. Did any of it survive or is it all a literal ice sculpture?

Total loss. The glass shards mixed with the powder so well I could probably sell it as glittering fairy dust.

Yeah I clearly overthought the preservation part and paid the price. Standard fridge from now on.

Wait do you guys actually keep dry powder in the freezer? I thought only reconstituted stuff needed cold storage.

At least you did not drop the whole tray on the tile floor like I did last month. That sound haunts my dreams.

Dry peptide storage depends on the compound but deep freezing is usually overkill unless you are storing long term for years.
