Bonnie,
this has been suggested several times but the problem is that
its a pain to maintain dyes in this manner.
You can make large batches of hematoxylin and place a layer of mineral oil on
the surface to prevent further oxidation. The Hx is generally stored in a
separating funnel and the Hx drawn off from the bottom when needed.
