I purchased a batch of SN in 2024. It arrived in its original plastic bottles, but to be on the safe side, I transferred some of it into screw-top glass bottles as lab-grade. I stored both the unopened original plastic bottles and the glass bottles in a safe. Will they remain stable indefinitely if stored this way? For example, I'd like to store it for three or four decades, since I've read that there's no need to worry about sodium nitrite's expiration date—it's a stable substance that remains effective over the long term. Is this actually ture? Will I not need to replenish my supply with fresh SN every 2or3 year? Moreover, SN may become increasingly difficult to obtain in the future. Sorry for rambling on like this, I have like OCD such of problems, I need a reliable and certain method to ctb and then may ensure my survival.
Or, after three or four decades of using SN for CTB, might the sodium nitrite content have decreased, meaning I should use 50 grams instead of the recommended 25 grams?
