Re: [Histonet] gold chloride
Gold chloride (meaning tetrachloroauric acid or its
sodium salt) does not need to be refrigerated and it
is not light-sensitive. Aqueous solutions keep for
years in clear glass bottles on an ordinary shelf.
They slowly deteriorate with repeated use, becoming
paler yellow with a subtle greyish sheen, and should
then be recycled.
The recycling method is simple and you recover about
half the original gold chloride. For details, see
Stain Technology 52:245-248 (1977).
