- Medical-grade insulin cooler (FRIO)
- 2–8°C via evaporative cooling
- 36–48 hours
- Low. Declared as medical cooling device
- Moderate. Depends on ambient humidity for evaporation
- Best for domestic flights under 48 hours; requires periodic reactivation in humid environments
- Dry ice insulated container
- −78.5°C sublimation cooling
- 48–72 hours with sufficient dry ice mass
- High. Requires IATA dangerous goods declaration and airline pre-approval
- Low if packed correctly; high if dry ice quantity miscalculated
- Required for international flights over 48 hours; logistically complex but most reliable
- Vacuum-insulated thermos with gel packs
- 2–8°C passive insulation
- 12–18 hours
- Low. Standard carry-on item
- High. No active cooling; depends entirely on initial gel pack temperature
- Acceptable only for short regional flights under 4 hours; not recommended for research-grade peptides
- Standard checked luggage (no cooling)
- Uncontrolled. Fluctuates with cargo hold temperature
- 0 hours (immediate degradation begins)
- None
- Certain. Peptide will degrade within 6–12 hours
- Never acceptable for BPC-157 or any temperature-sensitive peptide; guaranteed loss of compound integrity
