Coop test strips, how long before they expire?

For the coop test strips, any ideas how long they last once purchased/opened?

If there is an expiration date printed somewhere that I didn’t notice?

 

I tested with mine and after comparing with a master test kit they’re still good. I just noticed a small bunch of them turning colors in the can so it got me wondering.

Thanks for any help

I'd guess that if they are turning colors, they're getting exposed to humid air. Test strips should last at least 2 years, but it all depends on keeping them dry, leaving the top open or letting water drip into the container will likely throw them off a bit.

Thank you for the response. I’ll weed out any slightly colored ones. Probably a few drops of water got in the lid or something. 
 

i noticed I like testing a lot sometimes so the strips are convenient compared to the liquids. 🙂
