Upass Lot Number Check: Verify Your Box and Expiration Date

Where is the lot number on a Upass box?

Turn the box over and look next to the UPC barcode. Both the lot number and the expiration date are printed there. The lot number identifies the production run the bottle came from. The expiration date is calculated from that run's production date.

Current-production bottles also carry the Upass name printed on the bottle itself, not only on the box.

What does the lot number actually tell you?

How do I know if my kit is still in date?

Read the expiration date printed on the box. Sealed Upass bottles carry a two-year shelf life from production. Store sealed kits at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. A kit inside its printed date and stored sealed is within specification.

My box has no lot number. What does that mean?

It means the box did not come from us. Every box we produce carries both markings next to the UPC. A box without them is either not our product or has been repackaged by someone else, and in either case we cannot tell you what is inside it or how old it is.

This is the single most common issue we see with product bought outside the authorized channel. Our guide to spotting counterfeit product covers the other signals.

Can Safeguard Labs check a lot number for me?

Yes. Email info@safeguardlabs.com with the lot number and expiration date exactly as printed on your box, and a photo of the printing if you can. We can tell you whether the format matches our production records.

Where should I buy so the box is current?

Upass is sold in retail stores across the country. Online, upassurine.com is the only authorized seller, and we authorize no marketplace or reseller listings online. Ordering direct is how you know the box came from the current production run. Upass is in stock, and orders placed by 3:00 PM PT Monday to Friday ship the same business day.

What is in the kit?

A premixed 3 oz bottle with the Upass logo embossed in the plastic, two Hot Sacks air-activated hand warmers, an adhesive temperature strip, a dispensing cap, and a rubber band. See what a complete kit contains and the official instructions.

What is Upass used for?

Upass is sold for lawful uses: calibrating and validating urinalysis equipment and dipstick panels, scientific research and product testing, medical and laboratory education, demonstrations, and adult novelty use. Buyers are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
