Minimize exposure to room light, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight and ultraviolet light.
Frozen Storage
- Store frozen between -50°C to -15°C (-58°F to 5°F).
Storage after Thawing - Storage at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F):
- Vials may be stored refrigerated between 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 30 days prior to first use, provided the expiration date is not exceeded.
- Vials with a pink cap and label with a yellow box: Discard 8 hours after the first puncture.
- Vials with dark blue caps and labels with a gray border: Discard 12 hours after the first puncture.
- Storage at 8°C to 25°C (46°F to 77°F):
- Vials may be stored between 8°C to 25°C (46°F to 77°F) for a total of 24 hours.
- Vials with a pink cap and label with a yellow box: Discard 8 hours after the first puncture.
- Vials with dark blue caps and labels with a gray border: Discard 12 hours after the first puncture
- Total storage at 8°C to 25°C (46°F to 77°F) must not exceed 24 hours.
Do not refreeze once thawed. Thawed vials can be handled in room light conditions
Transportation of Thawed Vials at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) If transport at -50°C to -15°C (-58°F to 5°F) is not feasible, available data support transportation of one or more thawed vials for up to 12 hours at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) when shipped using shipping containers which have been qualified to maintain 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) and under routine road and air transport conditions with shaking and vibration minimized. Once thawed and transported at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F), vials should not be refrozen and should be stored at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) until use.
