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 (35°–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.

For more information, contact your authorized IDEXX distributor or call 1-800-248-2483.
