Shelf life of a UO sample

[Baveux]

How long can I keep my UO sample before sending them to the lab ??

I would just send it in ASAP. Time may affect the oil quality giving you inaccurate results. Guess it doesn't answer your question, though

Blackstone labs FAQ has a question about this.

Here it is...

I took a sample three months ago and forgot to send it in. It's been on a shelf in my garage ever since. Can I still send it in? Will the results still be good?

Should be fine.

Thanks guys, adding to that wearcheck Canada replied saying the same than Blackstone, adding, to be stored in a sealed container away from the sun and high variation in temp.
