According to the Pharmaceutical Society of Singapore( PSS ), the majority of ART kits sold in Singapore expire between two and three years after their manufacture date.
According to Professor Paul Tambyah, a senior analyst with the Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital, the shelf life of the majority of products sold in Singapore typically ranges from 15 to 24 weeks.
WHAT IF THE TEST System IS ONLY ONE OR TWO DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF ITS Validity? May I USE IT Nevertheless?
According to Prof. Tambyah,” some of the companies and governmental authorities have extended the expiration dates of some products ,” so you can examine the FDA website for the most recent updates. But he added that” this applies to some test products, but not all.”
According to Dr. Jaichandar KS of the Biomedical Engineering Technical Committee at The Institution of Engineers in Singapore, manufacturers’ expiration dates are typically liberal, but they shouldn’t be taken lightly because they are” based on stability assessment conducted during solution development.”
When thinking about using test kits after their printed expiration time, he advised prudence and adhering to established instructions.
