Serum eye drops - experience of travel and transport?

Hello everyone. I recently took delivery of my first batch of allogeneic (donated) serum eye drops which have to be stored in the freezer. I am due to go on holiday in May to France, travelling by car for around 12 hours. Can anyone offer any advice regarding transporting a week's supply of the drops whilst keeping them frozen? They were delivered to me packed in dry ice. Has anyone ever had to purchase a small quantity of dry ice or have any other recommendations please?

Thank you.

If you have a stainless steel YETI cup or bottle - fill halfway with crushed ice, then put the frozen drops (in a baggie) in the container and fill the rest packed tight with more crushed ice. I have traveled that way with my drops, just throwing the YETI in my suitcase and it will stay frozen that way at least 24 hours. Enjoy your trip!

That’s great, thank you. I wasn’t sure if I could expect them stay frozen long enough that way. So it’s really reassuring to hear your experience 👍
