Other kits with similar expiration dates were extended, but my kit wasn’t. Why was my kit expiration not extended?
The expiration date is dependent upon different factors. Although the lot numbers are similar, the expiration date of the components within the kit may be different and may impact if the kit is extended.
Can I use my kit even if it is expired? How long is my kit good for after the expiration date?
QuidelOrtho does not recommend using expired kits.
