does breaking the seal on an sn bottle for testing reasons cause it to lose its effectiveness?

Really curious about this

I just put my sn bottle in a ziploc bag with all the air squeezed out after I opened it. Not sure how helpful it is, but probably better than nothing

I had a SN bag which I opened several times (less than half an hour). One day I did the aquarium kit test and it was pure so I think it will take a long time to turn into NitrAte. Don't know how many hours.

Damn, I curse the paucity on this.

No idea how long it takes to oxidate. If it turns yellow could always get a new bottle. It's pretty cheap.

I don't think it should be an issue. Everyone getting them from Amazon is getting them without real seals, just cellophane tape all around the lid. There's no way these vendors are filling these jars with nitrogen, I would believe that as much as I believe in chem trails. This is an inert substance in normal conditions such as you would store pharmaceuticals. If you want to put a time limit to feel super safe, I would say 1 year just like Walgreens does.

OR for overachievers, get a bunch of silica gel packets and SorbiCaps/dessicants, then you can store it better than the factory did.
