According to the orchid club member who sent me down that path (and organized some group purchases within the club that drove the price down significantly), they also lend themselves to group testing - he found that he could group as many as 6 plants in a test (just slivers) and still pick up a positive if it was in there. The biggest "operator error" for the tests is to use too much sample not too little. I'm just finishing a box of tests that supposedly expired in 2021(down to the last 3) , and they still work fine. (Found a few positives that got tossed, and cleared many as clean... to verify that the negatives were really negative, I did retest a few with strips from a new batch and got same results) 'Way back when, I used Agdia, and had some go bad in the 'fridge, very near the expiration date. (Like no control line... moisture is the enemy, as it is for COVID tests and any others that use the same technology)
