Do Cholestech LDX test cassettes have to be shipped refrigerated to customers?
Cholestech LDX test cassettes (except hs-CRP) do not require refrigeration when shipped to your customers. Shipments are stable when shipped over a three (3) day time frame without cold packs. Hs-CRP cassettes must be shipped with cold packs over a two (2) day frame. Refrigerate all cassettes upon arrival. All cassettes can be taken out of the refrigerator and stored at room temperature for thirty (30) days. Once the cassettes have been removed from the refrigerator, and have reached room temperature, the room temperature timing starts. The cassettes cannot be returned to the refrigerator to extend the dating to the expiration date on the label once they have reached room temperature.
