The most important step?
Take your kit out of the fridge before you use it.
Vintessential™ test kits should be stored at 4°C, but for accurate pipetting and consistent results, allow reagents to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before testing.
Cold reagents can affect volume accuracy and reaction performance.
✔ Small handling habits can have a major impact on analytical accuracy and consistency.
Additional best practice tips:
✔ Store kits correctly at 4°C
✔ Allow reagents to equilibrate before use
✔ Keep the original box — it stabilises and protects reagents
✔ Return each vial to its foam holder after use
✔ Label the opening date once a kit is opened
Small habits make a big difference in analytical accuracy.
“Proper storage. Proper handling. Reliable results.”
