Description
Key Features
- Storing reagents at a consistent temperature in the range if 36°–85°F (2°–29°C); extreme temperature fluctuation
- say from a refrigerator to a hot car trunk
- causes reagents to deteriorate|Keeping them out of prolonged direct sunlight. (Note: their brown plastic bottles help protect very light-sensitive reagents.)|Segregating reagents from containers of treatment chemicals|Replacing caps immediately and tightening them carefully so that exposure to air and humidity is limited|Avoiding switching bottle caps
- placing bottle caps on soiled surfaces
- repouring reagents into contaminated containers
- or touching test strip pads
