[Histonet] reagents without expiration dates

[Goins, Tresa]

OK, I'll give it a try René.  "Baker's Analyzed" Potassium Permanganate (5 lbs) with a "typed" label made with an actual "typewriter".  Trying to verify age but I've wasted enough time already on fun stuff today.

Ha.Ha,Ha!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to prepare staining solutions with some "Merck-Darmstad" anilines manufactured just after the "Great War", i.e. the FIRST World War (about 1925 before the World Great Depression).

Try to beat that!.

I've always wanted to have a contest to see who had the oldest reagents.

My lab once had something that was 20 years old.

The whole point of this country is if you want to eat garbage, balloon up to 600 pounds and die of a heart attack at 43, you can! You are free to do so. To me, that’s beautiful.
