Cold chain: records, transport and continuity
Temperature continuity is evaluated over time; a shipping label cannot replace a record.

More than a refrigerated container
A cold chain covers storage and transport under defined temperature conditions. The CDC vaccine example illustrates continuity of the process; its temperature intervals should not be transferred to all peptides.

Reading a temperature incident
A suitable receipt temperature does not necessarily describe the preceding hours. A useful record identifies times, temperatures and possible excursions. Where a segment is missing, record the evidence gap instead of assuming stability or degradation.

Questions about this reference
Does a temperature excursion alone prove degradation?
No. Assessment depends on the material, excursion duration and magnitude, and relevant stability data.
