- FRIO Evaporative Wallet
- 18–26°C
- 48 hours
- Fully compliant (no ice)
- Unreconstituted PT-141, trips under 48 hours, tropical climates
- Optimal for powder form and short trips. No TSA liquid restrictions, reusable, and reliable
- Medical Cooler + Phase-Change Packs
- 2–8°C
- 24–36 hours
- Compliant if packs fully frozen
- Reconstituted PT-141, multi-leg flights, extended travel
- Best cold chain solution for pre-mixed peptides. True refrigeration temperatures but requires frozen prep
- Standard Ice Pack Cooler
- 0–10°C (variable)
- 6–12 hours
- Fails if ice melts before screening
- Short domestic flights only
- Unreliable. Melting ice triggers TSA confiscation and temperature control ends when ice thaws
- No Cooling (Carry-On Only)
- Cabin ambient (18–24°C)
- Flight duration only
- Fully compliant
- Unreconstituted PT-141 on flights under 8 hours
- Acceptable for lyophilized powder on short flights but offers no buffer for delays or ground transport
- Checked Luggage (Any Method)
- −10°C to 35°C (uncontrolled)
- N/A
- Compliant but inadvisable
- None. Never recommended for peptides
- Hard reject. Cargo hold temperature swings cause denaturation regardless of cooling method used
