Help Testing 3ish year old SN from reuputable vendor (Colour blind!)

[Whatshouldmynamebe]

My lifes expiration date is unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you see it approaching.

Currently getting affairs in order, banking etc (If any one has experience writing a will or how assets get allocated in general please dm if your interested in helping!)

This also means it's time I test my SN, I've never tested before but I followed Vizzy's guide for the aquarium test. With 2.5g SN and 500ml in each cup. Only problem is I'm fairly colorblind so some input on the results would be very greatly appreciated. Also since this source of the sn is no longer available for some years now am I able to say it without getting flagged? Thanks in advance again.

So again it should have 10mg/L. The photo showing two strips has the one on the bottom from the first 5g/L cup and the on top with the 10mg/L cup

Bottle had never been opened before

Bottle had never been opened before

As long as the bottle hasn't been opened and it's been kept in a dry, preferably shaded, cool temp place, the SN should be just as potent as when you purchased. There may be clumping and the SN may have a yellow tone to it - mildly yellow.

Mellow yellow, if you will.

Due to the colorblindness, I feel the simple blood test is better suited. Prick a finger, deposit blood on a sterile surface, add SN and observe.

(I had read this post fairly quickly after it was posted and was hoping for some more opinions on this)

I appreciate the input, I'll likely do the blood test in the next 2 days. I just figured the aquarium test was more precise since I've heard nitrate will also turn blood brown

The aquarium test is likely more precise though I haven't tried it as I tend to stick with the most basic tests and methods.

Vizzy definitely did a lot of research in various methods, most notably SN and Nitrogen, which he ultimately ended up using to CTB. I can imagine him playfully teasing me about the aquarium test strips - we agreed on many things, though the aquarium test strips made me hesitant. Looking back, I think I was most concerned with opening the SN bottle finally and risking its degradation.

Anyhow - it's good you're getting things sorted. When I finally lay my head down for the last time, I want to know I've left things as they were meant to be. Finances, cherished items sent to loved ones, cremation paid for, etc.

Phone and laptop I plan on destroying, though I do wish I could document my experience for the forum, for further SN researching.

I wonder if we've got the same SN. Mine came from Amazon.

That's definitely fair not wanting your SN to begin degrading, I actually got 2 bottles, one for testing and the other to keep sealed. I'm going to pm you my source, would be curious if we did have the same one.

NO 2 means nitrite?

And 10 means what 100%

exactly it

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

exactly it

The second strip by the nitrite looks orange but seems it's supposed to be pink by 10 = 100% . so according to that test it seems that sn is no longer good ?
All this is just my opinion : Which confirms my thoughts . the manufacturers put expiration dates on these chemicals but PN and others going off on what he said seem to think these things last forever.

It's Essential to have sources where people in torture can buy fresh substance . I won't name the substances cause i know prolifers and police watching.

Right I thought it kind of looked darker than the test says it should. curious though cause it dosnt look more faded like it would if it were lower amounts

Redid the test waiting only 30 seconds to take the picture (Test says read results after 30 seconds) Where as the other picture was taken after around 2 minutes

Its pink and matches 5 It's really important to do the test exactly as it says (30 seconds) sorry I had to magnify to see the shade of pink matches 5

The blood test doesn't completely suffice. The blood test only proves that nitrite is present in the substance rather than the purity of the SN.


Looks pure to me, I assume its safe to use. The only problem is that for the first strip, theres a gradient between yellow and blue for one of the squares and its confusing, its probably normal but i've never seen such a thing appear on an nitrite test strip.

Got the same test and I'm colourblind too what a coincidence lol wow ok

Well, the SS community is here to help if you ever end up needing it due to your colourblindness :)

So 5 would mean I'm not looking very pure eh :/

Well I took a good long look again and somebody already mentioned its orange-y. As for the darkness of the shade it seems to be the same level of 5. Can some one pls confirm coz my TV might be calibrated wrong.
