What happens if I leave my Test Kit in the sun?

Duration: 1:29

If your Vintessential™ test kit is accidentally left out during delivery or exposed to warm conditions, is it still usable?

All Vintessential™ enzymes are stability-tested and rated to 37°C for up to five days. Short-term exposure to heat does not automatically mean the kit is compromised.

✔ The most important step is simple: Run the included QC standard.

If your standard result is within ±10% of the certified value, the kit is performing correctly.

However, signs of potential damage may include:

✔ Visible particulates or aggregated material
✔ Unusual reagent appearance

In these cases, contact your local Vintessential™ or WineChek supplier for guidance.

Your standard is the ultimate performance indicator — verifying both kit integrity and analytical technique.

“Test the standard. Confirm performance. Proceed with confidence.”
