Method Will SN method still work if SN was exposed to air?

[Zaya]

If my SN was exposed to air because I opened the bag and sealed it again after a couple minutes will it still be ok to use 1 or 2 weeks later or should I order it again just to be safe?

I would order new SN. I wouldn't want to risk surviving.

Mine was opened 3 years ago. I hope it still works.

For a couple of minutes I don't think it has degraded, it needs more time for that to happen. just make sure you have it well sealed, that there is no air in the bag and in a cool and dark place and do not open it again until you are going to use it

A few mins shouldn't be an issue, as o9ng as it was revealed correctly

I just checked the bag and it looks like I did seal it properly but with a little air in the bag. I think since I now know where to get it and it wasn't really expensive I will order a new bag just to be 100% safe.

What about the ccs plastic jar? I opened a few times, but only a week ago?

I also don't see a problem if you opened it and closed it well without letting a lot of time pass. It would need to be open for a long time.

The only way to know is to try. But i think it takes more times to become nitrate.

I did it for the blood test and it was effective for that, yeah just a few days ago

Is it in a plastic bag? Mine is and l have read some saying that it will only last a couple of months yet l have also been told it could last for up to 3 years. I haven't opened mine yet
