If you rinse your slides very, very well before placing them in chromic acid, the solution will last a long time. If it is turning dark, it is because alcohol is being carried over into the solution and reducing it. But as long as it remains the bright orange, I think it can be used for a long time. It will gradually become diluted with water, and will have to be replaced at some point in time. Freida Carson
