Important notes on storage:

  • Room-temperature storage (optional): SNAP devices and reagents can be stored at room temperature (15°–27°C/59°–80°F) for 90 days or until the printed expiration date, whichever occurs first.
  • After SNAP devices and reagents are removed from 2°–7°C (36°–45°F) storage for more than 24 hours, the expiration date is 90 days or the printed expiration date, whichever occurs first.
  • If the 90-day expiration date occurs prior to the printed expiration date, record the new date in the space provided on the kit.
  • All components must be at room temperature before running the test. This may take 30 minutes, depending on the temperature of your laboratory—do not heat.

The SNAP® 3Dx® Test is available in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Latin America. Call your local IDEXX distributor for availability.
