Basic Question: What is the freezing temperature for test kits?

Liquid test kits are cheap online, but if I have them shipped in the cold, will they freeze and burst the bottle? Or do they have really low freezing points? I was going to stick one of mine outside to see, but I decided asking you guys would be a more intelligent idea :thumbs:
 
I would have to guess that the content would freeze at or near 32°F as water. My question would be; does the cold temperature effect the chemical properties that give accurate results? :)
 
Blah, that would suck. I think it would melt and still be useful; I'm more concerned about the bottle itself - if it ruptured and then the test solution got all over everything I would have to bleach everything in order to use it (which I guess I should be doing anyways -.-)
 
I'm pretty sure the bottle wouldn't burst. It's not like it's made out of glass that can't bend. Pressure could be put on the bottles, and still be fine.
