After I mix a batch of acridine orange, how should I store/preserve it. How long will it last?
Thanks, Greg
Stain storage.
Re: Stain storage.
Google is your friend:
Store in refrigerator 2°C to 8°C and protect from light.
I would wrap its tube with aluminum foil to shield it from light.

Acridine orange is quite toxic to microbes. You will never find any living bacteria in a 1 % solution. The bigger problem is light but in a brown bottle the solution will remain usable für a long time.
