Proper storage is essential for maintaining the integrity and performance of your Logix Smart SARS-CoV-2 Test Kit. Here's how to store it correctly: Upon Receiving the Kit: Verify that all components arrive frozen. If any components are not frozen or appear compromised, immediately contact your distributor. Storage Temperature: All kit components must be stored below -20°C upon arrival. This prevents reagent degradation. Avoid repeated thawing and freezing of components, particularly the master mix, as this can negatively impact the test's performance. For intermittent use, consider freezing components in multiple aliquots. Minimize Temperature Fluctuations: If you need to store the kit at a different temperature, limit storage between +2°C and +8°C to a maximum of 4 hours. Protect Against Power Outages: If your work area experiences power outages, ensure you have a backup generator for your freezer. A temperature data log system is also recommended to verify that the kit maintains a -20°C temperature. Protect from Light: Shield the master mix from light to preserve its stability. Expiration Dates: Never use kit components past their expiration date, as their reliability cannot be guaranteed. Disposal: The product is not considered biological waste. Follow the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for proper disposal, adhering to all regional, national, and local laws and regulations. Following these guidelines will help ensure your Logix Smart SARS-CoV-2 Test Kit provides accurate and reliable results.
