Thanks for the advice guys. I am starting to feel a lot more confident about the whole thing. My plan is to microwave it for 5-10 seconds and then rubber-band the heating pad to the bottle. I have about a 20 to 30 minute drive to the closest lab so I will have to pick up some whitey-tighties (I am a boxers guy) and tuck the bottle under the boys. I should be good to go.
