[labnetwork] Nanostrip Storage Container

[Melendes, Melissa A.]

Mason,

Good morning.  Yes, we have experienced issues with long term storage with Nanostrip.  We had inventory that was not used as anticipated and we found that at the end of a year the seams on three separate bottles had started to separate and leak.  We no longer keep any extra inventory on hand.

I would like to add that we have not had any issues with receiving any incoming material.

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® KMG Nano-Strip 2X®). 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,
