[labnetwork] Nanostrip Storage Container

[Robert Vandusen]

Hi Mason.
A few years ago I got rid of the last of our Nano-Strip for the same reason.  The original plastic bottle was degrading and I was worried it was going to leak.
We may have been well past the expiry date though.  No other users have requested Nano-strip since then,  so we mix our piranha as needed.

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,
