Is there an expiration date on any of the tests?

YES. On the back side of the plastic packaging which houses the contents including the instructions and different package envelopes which contain the chemicals for the variety of tests. There are no dates on the individual test envelopes that I can see. BUT there is definitely an expiration date on the back outside of the clear plastic packaging right next to the words "Watersafe City Water Test Kit." I hope this is a clear explanation and that it helps.

There is no longer an expiration date on the precision test strips. Use them till they are gone. They use to give you a calibration strip and that was good for one year.

The experation date on the test strips is 4-30-15. I wrote it in the condition notes in the Amazon listing.

The expiration date will depend on when you purchase these test strips. I have purchased these for the past two years and have always received test strips that expire no less than 6 months out and up to as much as 12 months.

If test strips are not exposed to extreme temperatures (greater than 100F. or 38 C.) they should be good for long after the expiration date. I have used strips several years out of date with no problems, but remember accuracy even with brand new strips is +/- 20%!

It's been a while since I've used them (I was only a pre-diabetic and dodged the bullet), but as I recall they were dated about a year or so forward. They were long gone before they expired - and that was testing only once a day for the last couple of months. BTW, did you check the previous Q&As;? I think this question was asked before.

I am not sure if it has expiration date. However, the a1c test should be made each 3 months for a diabetic patient, so I strongly recommend you to buy less kits unless you are a medical doctor and have many patients that could use so many kits

I can't say for sure anymore, but I can say there was plenty of time before the expiration date. Definitely wasn't expired. That was the first thing I looked for myself.

Yes. You want to use by the expiration date in order to have the most accurate reading.

The date on the box is when the freshness and efficacy of the test strips can no longer be guaranteed. Just like medications have an expiration date. It is a different date for each lot number.

The expiration dates are just that. If the strips have not been used by the dates, the meter will not read the sample.

If you have the container of test strips on hand you can find this info on it. My strips expiration date is 2016/05 (May 2016).

Understand the concern of the expiration date, these were 08/2015. I have ordered test strips before from Amazon, and the expiration date was/has been the next year.

Yes there are expiration dates on the strips I received. On the order I received my strips were in date.

I bought them in fall,2013, and the expiration dater for the ones I got were set for November of this year. So fae all of the test strips I've ordered on Amazon are 10 months to 1 1/2 years out. Hope this helps.

Yes, they do have an expiration date. Usually the expiration date is only a few months after the purchase date. I have found that test strips stay good long after the expiration date!

As I understand it, there are two expiration dates. One is already printed on the test strip container, and is the date the strips will no longer be viable. The second is the one the user must enter in the provided space on the container, which must be 90 days AFTER the strips are first opened to begin use. Accuracy of tests provided with the test strips after either of these dates may not be valid.
