Lyophilized tirz powder in original sealed packaging at room temperature is considered stable for 1-2 years - 13 months is borderline but not an automatic discard. The key factors are whether the packaging is truly sealed and kept away from humidity and heat. After reconstituting, the normal indicators apply: clear solution, no particles, no unusual color. The dosing math is worth getting right before the first pin, but the calculation isn't complex once you have the volume and concentration set.
