[Histonet] Silver Nitrate

[Andrea Grantham]

After a recent run on silver stains here I need to order Silver  
Nitrate. Can anyone tell me what the difference is (except the cost)  
between Silver Nitrate
Certified ACS, USP, p.a., Extra Pure, and Ultra Pure? They all have  
the same chemical formula and FW of 169.87. My last batch of Silver  
Nitrate was probably ordered and received here just after the  
Mayflower landed and there is no information on the bottle any longer.  
Which one do I need for stains like GMS, Sevier Munger, etc.?

Thanx,

Andi
