[labnetwork] Nanostrip Storage Container

[julia.aebersold at louisville.edu]

We purchase the same material and do experience degradation of the container.  Part of our checklist is to make sure we do not keep the material past the expiration date.  We also keep it stored in  Nalgene container in case the storage container fails.

Hope this helps.  :)

Cheers!

Mason,

Nanostrip I used to buy comes with plastic container. I haven't had any issue in storing for long period of time. I buy from Capitol Scientific (Cyantek(r) KMG Nano-Strip 2X(r)). Sometimes you may need to have different cap on the lid which might remove the buildup pressure from the Nanostrip.

All,

Has anyone experienced problems with storing nanostrip solution (a stabilized form of piranha)? We recently purchased a gallon of it, the first shipment did not arrive due to "damaged packaging during shipment" the second round did in fact arrive but the bottle itself (which is just a plastic HDPE 4L chemical bottle) appears to be degrading, chemical label is completely gone and the plastic lining is - is this something that can be stored in a glass container?  It seems interesting that something specifically engineered and used for dissolving organics and removing polymers is stored in a plastic container.

Thanks,
