| 39 | Two common arrangements lengthen that interval. In a '''regional warehouse''' model, material is manufactured, released, shipped in bulk to a warehouse in the destination region, and held there until ordered. The transit the purchaser sees is short; the total interval since release may be months, and nothing in the documentation states either the interval or the storage conditions during it. In a '''repackaging''' model, bulk material is subdivided into vials by a party other than the manufacturer, and the certificate describes the bulk rather than the vial.{{r|usp1503,reports}} | 39 | Two common arrangements lengthen that interval.

| + | 41 | === Why the interval matters === | |
| + | 42 | Degradation in a lyophilised peptide is slow at recommended storage temperatures and is not slow at ambient ones, and the relevant chemistry — [[Deamidation|deamidation]], oxidation, [[Peptide aggregation|aggregation]] — is time-and-temperature dependent rather than time dependent alone.{{r|usp1503}} | |

| + | 44 | Consequently the question a purchaser actually needs answered is not "how old is this?" but "how long was it held, and at what temperature?". A three-month warehouse interval at the recommended condition is unremarkable; the same interval on a loading dock is not, and neither is distinguishable from the other on a document that mentions neither. See [[Beyond-use date]] and [[Temperature excursion]]. | |
