Is it safe to unseal SN briefly to run a blood test?

[GrumpyFrog]

Hey, this might be a question that was already asked repeatedly, I'm sorry if that's the case. My mind's a bit hazy right now.
I have sealed SN that I want to test because I am not 100% sure it hadn't expire. Is it okay to unseal the packaging in order to run a blood test, if I don't plan to CTB until November? Or do I have to be ready to use SN ASAP after unsealing the packaging? I am uncomfortable with the thought of not knowing whether I even have the means until the very end...Can somebody advise?

Thank you in advance.

When the sn was being packaged it was exposed to atmosphere. It is unlikely that your test would make the lot go bad. That sn you bought might have been sitting in a storage room for months before you got it. Just reseal the container, or do your testing 12-24 hours before you ctb. Much love to you.

Damn, that actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you! It is completely logical - it was probably already exposed to air before it was sealed. I guess, I just needed some reassurance.
I wonder if ordering a backup package of SN is reasonable, or a paranoid overkill? I've got a kilo of this stuff, so I'm not going to "run out", just obsessive fear of it "going bad" I guess.

A kilo?! Wow I picked up two thirty gram bottles for myself.

Does it have an expiration date on it? Or a lot number that you would be able to look up?

I think you should be fine as long as you don't open it in a sauna. Just open it somewhere dry and cool and you should be fine

I was buying from a shop catering to businesses under a guise of needing it for meat processing. A kilo was actually the smallest package they had, they were trying to talk me into buying a 25kg bag I mean, at this stage I'd love throw a week-long CTB party with pizza, anime and an optional drunk orgy for everyone who is also not looking forward to nukes and all, but I don't think that's legal

Unfortunately, no. It says that it is good for 24 month, but with no production date or expiration date on the packaging this information is bafflingly useless.

If you should throw such a party, I damn well better get an invitation. I will RSVP, in the positive!
