Help Is SN sensitive to light?

[http-410]

I was thinking about putting it on my desk for an indefinite period of time. Is there a risk that light will make it less potent?

No, the light doesn't affect SN. But the air does. So make sure you put it in an airtight container or just don't open the bottle and it can last a lifetime.

I thought it only lasted 3-4 years? Where is your information from (not that I could answer that question)?

You might be thinking of Nembutal. But proper storage of either of these substances will ensure that they they can last for many years, if unopened.
