SN Source Clearance

[Viafactorum]

Hey there people! I just wanted to know more about the different grades of SN and if it's efficacy will be affected based on how it is marketed? I managed to secure 2 packs of SN which is 500g each for about $7.50 a piece. The source labels it as a "laboratory grade" which I hope doesn't mess with it's effectiveness. Also I happened to see a response from the source to another person's query as to whether this particular piece is toxic or not. And the source said it was "non-toxic." I wanted to know if SN can exist in a non-toxic state and if so how can I test for it. I am counting on this as my exits strat and the people that operates at the source(particularly the department that deals with all the queries and all) are not exactly the most "educated" individuals and are certainly not chemists hence why I doubt their claims of the piece being non-toxic. I have access to everything else, just have some confusion regarding the SN.

I am pretty new to this forum so I I would really appreciate it if someone can provide me with the appropriate links to threads or other websites which details tests I can do to certify the efficacy of the SN.

lab grade is perfectly fine. lab grade has generally went through further testing than food grade to determine all impurities is a specific substance. just do a blood test to verify what you have

I read that either food or lab grade is fine. As long as you do a blood test (or aquarium strip test, but that's a bit of a hassle) and the color darkens, it's authentic enough.

Thank you for the reply! Yeah I was thinking of doing the blood test because it seems more reliable than the aquarium test, but my main gripe is with the inconsistent information on the handling of SN. Particularly the handling of SN after you tamper with the seal of the fresh piece. If I take a sample of SN for the blood test the will the remainder waste away? I have read conflicting information on the shelf life of opened SN with some claiming the potency drops after you open the seal. I have a few more ends to tie before I follow through with the SN so it might take a few months. I bought two pieces with the intent of using one as a testing platform and the other for the actual use, but it would be might convenient to get it all done with using 1 piece.

I believe it's best to open it, quickly get a sample size, then tighten it back up and put it in a safe location (away from sunlight, in a tight container, and in a cool dry place should be fine)

The toxicity seems to be dose-dependent. For example, curing salt has SN (about 1 part SN to 16 parts table salt) and is not toxic.

Will do, I may be able to find a way to regulate the humidity in the room or something to avoid interactions of the SN with the surrounding environment. Thank you!

And even if a bit of the SN converts to sodium nitrate, you have 1 kg and you only need 50 g or so (2 doses of 25 g each).
