Does the InstaCup have any special handling requirements?
The InstaCup has a shelf life of 18 months from the time of manufacturing with an expiration date clearly marked on the packaging. It is recommended to keep this test device at room temperature (36-86 F) or refrigerated (no lower than 30 F) and sealed until ready to be used. The manufacturer of the InstaCup recommends that control tests with known agents be performed on each lot of kits. As a distributor, PAML provides this mandatory control testing for our clients on the inventory we carry. The controls confirm the test kits work within the manufacturers specifications.
