I usually keep my testing kit in the fridge. However, I sometimes take it out of the fridge for a few hours when the occasion necessitates. Will this change in temp. have any effect on the integrity of the test? Many thanks.

as far as i know the reagent should be used at room temperature as this gives a more accurate test.
do you have a small or large tester? becuase if you have the big ones in the glass bottle then you dont need to keep it in the fridge at all. its only the small ones in plastic that need cooling as this slows down them turning brown.
