[Histonet] reagents without expiration dates

[WILLIAM DESALVO]

Per SOP, we relabel, list date of receipt, test for quality and then apply a 12 month expiration date. We re-test after 12 months and continue to use, with 12 month dating, as long as the reagent meets quality standards set in the SOP.
