How does one prolong life of the ezy tester?

my first e-z test came in a small plastic tube with a color chart wrapped around the (amber) bottle as well. i think the new testers (esp. the combo ones) come in a small plastic container, so light shouldn't be an issue.

for most compounds discussed on bl, including the e-z test reagents, you can generally say a dry, cool and dark place is the best environment. if you have a small drawer with personal stuff in it that's not exposed to direct sunlight or close to a radiator, just put it in there and it will remain good as long as possible.

i kept mine in the fridge sometimes, but i wouldn't say it's necessary.

i would replace the tester about one year after buying it. that's €1,83/month, quite a good deal for peace of mind
