Hi,

For how long can you keep it in water? any particular dilution or just keep it humid (saturation)?

We also do have some dry picric acid in the lab and, after reading about the bomb squad, I was begining to get concerned...

Thanks a lot

advise you received of adding water is a good one.Humid picric acid will not 
explode at all. Why waste a good reagent?Keep humid, you will eventually used

  Dear histonetters,

Since a few months, i started working in a histology lab, run only by me (
coworkers are not specialized in histology). There has not worked here a
person at histology for about 2 years.

After many new protocols, i decided to clear out some chemicals.
Now i found around 1 KG of DRY picric acid. I informed my coworkers about
this, and they said just to dissolve everything in water.

What do you guys think is the best way for handeling with this explosive
chemical? Thank you all in advance!

Maarten
