Now that the weather is getting colder, keeping COVID-19 test kits in cars, mailboxes or other locations exposed to the cold temperatures is not recommended. They cannot be frozen.
As the weather gets colder in Canada, we understand some customers may be concerned about the sub-zero temperatures during the shipment of Rapid Test Kits.
Transport temperatures dipping below 0°C for short durations of time will not have an adverse effect on the test, or the buffer liquid.
BTNX Inc. (the manufacturer) has stated that should the buffer liquid in your test kit freeze during transportation, it won’t cause any issues, so long as the test components are brought up to room temperature again.
Recommendation: It’s extremely important to bring the tests to room temperature before adding the sample into the test, as low ambient temperatures when conducting the test may cause false results. We recommend letting the test kit contents sit out for 4-6 hours before use.

Provincial regulations around rapid testing for the general public/personal use are changing frequently. We will continue to update our website and social media with any changes in regulations as soon as we are able to.
Rapid Tests are used as a serial screening tool whereby individuals test themselves 2 or 3 times a week to detect if they are an asymptomatic carrier of COVID-19. These tests are most effective when you are infectious and are one more layer of peace of mind and safety. Rapid antigen testing devices should only be used for screening purposes. Nucleic acid-based testing, also called molecular testing or PCR, is the gold standard to diagnose active COVID-19 infection in patients with symptoms.
