What is the typical expiration date on these tests? If I buy 50 tests, how long do I have to use them?

I received my genuine, pink Wonfo tests today with an expiration date of January 2017. I ordered from Fairview Mart.

Ordered on 10/2013 (received within 4 days) EXPIRATION DATE 11/2014. So this batch is only ONE YEAR.

Agreeing with the others. Ordered mine in June and they are good until 12/2013, so ~1.5 years from purchase date.

They have the expiration date listed on the pack, which is typically between 1-2 years after purchase.

Mine were good for 1 and a half years. But , by the time I actually got pregnant I only had about 4 left. I used multiple tests a month because my period is never on time.

They are individually wrapped, and the expiration date is roughly 2 years from the date of purchase.

You won't know until you get it. That is the problem. Mine was 3 months and I test once a week. They should have at least 6 mo to a year.

Just look at the size of the box or at the container holding the test strips - usually it is about 17 months or less depending on when you purchased the product. If you are testing more than once a day, you will use the strips before the expiriation date.

It is a good question, I ordered 100 strips one time (2 boxes) and they were only good for a month. Dumping about to be expired strips onto internet sales is a concern. I just checked and some of the companies guarantee an expiration date for the strips - just check to be sure. I got mine from Diabetes Health Supplies and it had a more than one year expiration and the company I just checked (Deep Discount Center) has a legal disclaimer saying that their strips have: EXPIRATION 6 MONTH AND FURTHER GUARANTEED. FREE SHIPPING NATIONWIDE. 90 DAYS NO QUESTION ASKED REFUND. MAY REPLACE WITH 2 (50 COUNT) BOXES. Hope this helps.

It will depend on when you order. The last ones I ordered were good for about 9 months. I have never gotten any that expired before I used them up. I test myself monthly.

All products have a shelf life whether on your grocery shelf or at your pharmacy . This , "use by" date is set by the manufacture , to ensure that the product you buy is at its peak performance.You can find this date on the box that your test strips came in , or on the container tube directly below the word ACCU . Your test strips are good for twelve months . I hope this helps you .

I got these several months ago. The ones that I received did not expire until 06/2017.I purchased several boxes of them, quantity of 100 and several boxes with quantities of 50 test strips. Luckily I kept the plastic container after it was empty for some eye glass screws I had.

The expiration date is on the box bottom and on the test strip container too--usually on the side. DO have a magnifier to read them as they are in small text. ALSO---Please keep these in a cool place--NOT in a hot car, or exposed to sunlight--- as exposing to higher than room temperatures will alter the accuracy a great deal as I have been told by a health professional I trust.

I can only tell you that I have ordered these test strips many times from several different Amazon vendors and they usually have 3-5 months remaining before the expiration date. I have never received any with less than 3 months before expiration. Hope this helps.

As I understand it, there are two expiration dates. One is already printed on the test strip container, and is the date the strips will no longer be viable. The second is the one the user must enter in the provided space on the container, which must be 90 days AFTER the strips are first opened to begin use. Accuracy of tests provided with the test strips after either of these dates may not be valid.

The expiration date on the test strips I got approximately one to two months ago was May of 1916. There were 50 strips in the package.

There is no longer an expiration date on the precision test strips. Use them till they are gone. They use to give you a calibration strip and that was good for one year.

If test strips are not exposed to extreme temperatures (greater than 100F. or 38 C.) they should be good for long after the expiration date. I have used strips several years out of date with no problems, but remember accuracy even with brand new strips is +/- 20%!

As far as I know is the expiration date principally some 12 months after purchase. I personally bought 2 sets (thus for 2 years) knowing that there is no warranty as to the test results. But there are/were rumours that Bayer stops marketing point of care testing for diabetics and as there is very little on the market, I take my chances. For me it's mandatory to keep check on things/my HbA1C within the limits of a test which might be outdated at some stage. But, warrenty does not mean that you can't use the test to get an idea...

The expiration date will depend on when the manufacturer sent them out to distributors. It should be printed on the box/container. When the test strips are past their exp date you most probably will not get an accurate reading. There should NEVER be a label pasted over the printed exp date. If you have received any product like that you should return it and request a refund.

All test strips have the expiration date on the package they come in. Don't buy expired test strips from anyone.

The meter itself doesn't expire. So if you are asking about the enclosed test strips, the other answers are very helpful. I would think you would certainly use the 10 strips long before they expire!
