- FRIO Evaporative Wallet
- 18–26°C
- 36–48 hours
- Compliant (no batteries)
- Unreconstituted powder, short domestic trips
- Insufficient cooling for reconstituted peptides. Use only for lyophilised vials
- Active Thermoelectric Cooler
- 2–8°C
- 8–12 hours (battery dependent)
- Compliant with spare batteries under 100Wh
- Day trips, single flights with USB access
- Best option for short-duration travel with reconstituted peptides. Battery life is the limiting factor
- Gel-Pack Insulated Cooler
- 24–72 hours (depending on pack count)
- Compliant (declare gel packs at security)
- Multi-day trips, international flights, field research
- Most reliable for extended travel. Requires advance planning to pre-freeze packs
- Hotel Mini-Fridge
- 4–10°C (unverified)
- Continuous while plugged in
- N/A
- Overnight hotel storage only
- Risky. Most mini-fridges cycle above 8°C; use only with in-room thermometer verification
- Dry Ice Shipping Container
- −78°C
- 48–96 hours
- Restricted (airline-dependent, requires hazmat declaration)
- Laboratory-to-laboratory transfers only
- Overkill for personal travel. Freezing damages peptide structure as much as overheating
