Urgent help. SN weird consistency

[NoOneKnows]

Just measured SN, opened it just once about 2 months ago, now it is stuck together, dunno how to describe. Does is still work?, I tried to find parts that were still somewhat normal.

I should have already been off to hotel, have to do it today.
What do you think ,thank you

Have you kept the cap sealed tight?
Have you kept it in a dry stored area?
Have you also noticed any weird color changes?

Someone else might be able to help more, but clumping probably means it's been exposed to water vapour and got damp. I've also read that it will form the nitrite exposed to air, so that could be what's happened (sodium nitrite is far less lethal) . As long as you don't use the clumpy top part it should work.

If you want more info try searching 'SN storage protocol/troubleshooting' and someone who uses it in a lab might be able to help more.

I personally would be cautious to use clumpy SN, as you've no way to measure how much has turned into nitrite, but if you take enough that might not matter.
