[Histonet] Schiff's reagent

[Solomon Adebayo]

This is a rather late reply to the querry by Andrea.
The shell life and stability of schiff's reagent
depend on the formular and mode of preparation.
we use a modified schiff's reagent with a shell life
of  more than 12 months. It still maintain its potency
and very stable.
