I see that the tests need to be refrigerated, but is that just the # 2 item which says Test Cartridge, What about the #1 Sample Dilution?

I put the whole box in the fridge. In that way the various parts don't get separated and lost. I take out what I need for my monthly test a little over 2 hours prior to use.

I put the whole box in the fridge. In that way the various parts don't get separated and lost. I take out what I need for my monthly test before bed so it is at room temperature the next morning. The sample dilution is the part that is most likely to degrade if left at room temperature.

Since all the components come in a nice box, I always just put the box in the refrigerator. Also, since the various components are in nicely separated sections of the box, it is easy to take out one item from each section -- something that might be less convenient if the individual components were all taken out of the box for storage in a common container.

I never looked inside the cartridge. They were not obviously wet to me. They do have to be soaked on a bowl of water for like 24 hours before you use the machine first time for that cartridge. When you don't use it for a week or so, they will also need to be rehydrated, or the machine doesn't work. Beyond that, maybe call the manufacturer?

since it says 99% pure - one would have to assume that the 1% is something else. Water? Logic dictates -- what it is probably falls into a list of safe items to be dispensed. Logical?

You should refrigerate most tonic syrups after opening. I can't remember I this one specifically said

You have to use your judgement. For example, if chlorine is very low, add a lb. or two of shock. Speaking for myself, I like to keep the chlorine level on the high side.As long as pH, alkalinity, stabilizer are pretty much within OK ranges, I don't worry about it, assuming the water is clear. But, do note that if your pool water is not stabilized, you will have to use much, much more chlorine. These test strips are ridiculously easy to use. They provide all the information you need in seconds, in an easy-to-read format. Hope this helps.

I am not diabetic, but I check my fasting glucose bi-weekly just to be sure my diet is good. As a result, my test strips sit in the sealed container a long time. I get good, clear responses even after six-ten months. I think it is very important to keep the strips in a tightly-sealed container. If given regular use, the test strips probably will run out long before they cease to be effective. I am very happy with my True2Go meter and Truetest strips.

no, there is only one test kit for each substance. You could only test two if you mixed them together and did it as a pooled sample.

My wife uses 3 RAW products vitamins, enzymes and probiotics.Only the probiotics need refrigeration. I just checked the enzyme bottle and it says nothing about refrigeration. I believe you are ok with that. Normally if any item needs refrigeration it is sent with cold packs for shipping. Raw enzyme doesn't need refrigeration.

Yes. I actually used refrigerated for one batch and it was fine. My problem, being new at this, was trying to figure out the best way to load the tube fully.

I used bodily-temp urine when testing and worked fine. I stored them at room temp, but not for the urine.

We keep ours in frig, but like you it's easy to forget so I use a pill box 1x wk. maybe if you fix 2-3 days worth of Rxs or herbs maybe it will be fresh. When you run out of that supply you can reorganize for the next 2-3 days. You could always check Jarrow.com for more specific guidelines. I don't see on bottle that it needs to be refrigerated.

In addition to the meter you get a sample pack of 20 test strips, 4 or 5 lancets, and a pen to load the lancets into. I never use it. I just stick myself with the lancet. You do not get the testing liquid to see if your meter reading is accurate but if you want it your pharmacist can get it for you. If you have diabetes you can ask your doctor for a meter and he'll give you one at no charge. I don't know where the seller gets his meters from but the box often says it is not intended to be sold. Before buying, You should see if can get one from your doc. Take care of yourself.

I'm not sure, I've never used the pens before because I was just recently diagnosed. I just bought the bag because it has a thing that you can throw in your freezer to keep your med's cool during the day while at work. Measure the length of your pens and then check with Amazon seller to find out what the size of the bag is. But from what I've read, the pens do not have to be refrigerated for a least a couple of weeks..

I don't. I use the Acccu-check multiclix ( 6 lances per barrel ) set on 4. Don't be afraid to push it firmly against finger tip. and I usually still need to squeeze gently. Lastly the sample wicks into the end of the test strip, so don't put it ON the strip.

I use my test strips a while after I dump in the spa chemicals , say a few days. Everything seems to work fine though it is good to check periodically depending on the frequency of use, I guess.

I've never used the drugstore ones, but I imagine these should last longer (depending on how many you buy/how often you are testing). Each test strip is individually packaged in a small pouch, including a little packet of dessicant. Since each one is sealed, you don't have to worry about an open package.

it depends on how many drops you put in it. we are keeping it at the beginning of the purple bar b/c super purple we don't' need and also helps saving some drops for later. we did the test at the beginning when we first got the drops. (purple is alkaline). their recommendation was going to be super alkalined. i hope this helped
