How should I store the kit before I'm ready to use it?

Store your OncuraKit at room temperature (15–30°C / 59–86°F) in a dry location away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate or freeze the kit — extreme temperatures can affect the collection materials and preservation media. The kit has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture (printed on the kit packaging). Do not use the kit past its expiration date. Keep the kit out of reach of children. Once you have opened the sealed specimen cup and begun collection, complete the entire process the same day — do not attempt to store an opened, unused collection cup for later use.
