Questions about Quickfix... shelf life and practice?

Hi everyone :)

First off I just want to say thanks for having such a great site full of resourceful information... definitely a big help and adds some peace of mind.

My employer does random drug testing and one of my friends who works for the same company got hit with a random test this week. I had not seen anyone get tested in the 3 years I've been with the company so it was sort of a shock even though I knew they did it. It got me thinking and I figured I need to be better prepared than I am right now so I ordered a bottle of QuickFix from Quick Fix Urine. It should be delivering tomorrow to me... from what I've been reading everyone stresses practice to get the temperature right. I want to practice with the bottle that's on it's way so there are no surprises and I'm ready to go if I should get sent to be tested.

My questions are: is there a limit to how much practice QF can handle before it becomes ruined or unusable? It seems pretty straight forward so I doubt I'll have to try many times to get it right but I want to be able to practice on this bottle but still be able to use it if necessary.

Also, because it's a randomized test... I'm praying I don't have to go through with the test but if I do, it could be tomorrow... or I may not be tested for another 3 years, or ever. How long can I hold on to this bottle of QF before it goes "bad?" I suppose the better question is, will it go bad at all?

Thanks in advance for all your help and sorry for any "rookie" questions... I tried to search on this and may have missed the answer to these so I apologize if it's already been discussed!

Quick fix claims to have a shelf life of roughly two years and thats if stored properly and the only real problem I can think of is keep it out of sunlight. I don't have randoms so I keep mine in a bottom dresser drawer or the medicine cabinet in the box but you should have no problem if you carry it in a pocket or something like that. Make sure you date and hang on to the colored piece of paper with the batch number thats inside the box.

I always practice with water and save the QF for the final exam :)

Hey Phayzed I bought QF4.0 back in Sept 07 and I used it in March09 and passed. I have a thread on the site. It had a batch date of June07 being made.

Great, thanks guys for all your help!

Could someone please let me know if test clear powdered urine has a shelf life ? (I mean unmixed, off the shelf of course)

Thanks very much
