I worked in a lab about 10 years ago that had really old dry chemicals.
The owner of that lab still used them and had several area hospital
accounts.  The oldest I remember seeing was 1916.  I remember thinking,
"wow that should be in a museum." 

She had the other high school kids that she hired dump formalin into the
water reservoir that was next door.  The lab has since closed.

never seen one.
We're still using the Picric Acid we had from the 1960's.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

            Hello all,



            Does anyone know of a list expiration dates for dry
chemicals and reagents for histology?



            Thank you,
