The vial you never opened

Unopened stock sits quietly and is the easiest thing in the kit to lose track of, because it requires no attention until the day it does. Two things go wrong: it expires unnoticed, and it is forgotten when counting supply.

Record every vial when it arrives, not when it is opened. Give it its number then, note its printed expiry then, and include it in the supply count then. A vial that only enters the record at first use is invisible for the entire period when planning decisions are being made about it.

Check expiries at every delivery rather than at every use. That is when you can still act: reorder differently, use in a different order, or raise it with the supplier. Discovering a short dated vial on the day you meant to open it is discovering it too late.

Rotate physically so the oldest is the accessible one. Any system that depends on reading dates in a cold fridge before choosing will eventually be bypassed by convenience.

And if a vial does expire unused, record the loss rather than quietly discarding it. It affects your real cost per dose and it usually points at an over ordering pattern worth correcting. A Peptide Tracker & Calculator that tracks unopened stock alongside the open vial makes both the expiry and the ordering rate visible.
