Hey all:

Stocked up on RUI's liquid Stane during the big sale and have no current need for it at the present. Should I keep it in the fridge or a cool dark place out of sunlight?

Thank you
 
I think it says on their website that it is one of the compounds that doesn't need to be refridgerated. Look under the RUI FAQ.
 
Nearly all liquid compounds store longer in the fridge because heat acts as a catalyst in breaking them down, same with light.
 
I received my liquid stane in the mail 2 or 3 weeks ago and have just stored it in my room... Do I need to refrigerate it even before I open it, or only after?
 
You don't HAVE to refrigerate it at all, it will increase the shelf life. You can be guaranteed that your supplier didn't have it sitting in a refrigerator before he shipped it to you. I keep all my compounds in the fridge, opened or unopened... besides my oils.

So my liquid stane isnt ruined by not being in the fridge for the past 2-3 weeks?

No, if kept in room temperature and out of direct sunlight i believe the shelf life is 1-2 years. Refrigerating prolongs the shelf life, as others have already noted. It is a good practice, but not needed if your taking your chems right away.
