What is the shelf life of DPBS after it has been opened?
We cannot provide an official expiration date for open bottles as this depends on the customer's use. Once opened, Thermo Fisher Scientific can no longer guarantee the performance of any product. However, if the storage conditions are followed as recommended, the stated expiration date (36 months from the date of manufacture) should apply to opened bottles as DPBS is extremely stable.
