Hizb Ullah Sajid

Did you compare it with CMC solution that you used within one week of making? It depends on storage environment.

Xinyuan Yang

Hey Hizb, the CMC solution seems like just fine compared with fresh made. I just wonder what chemical reactions have happened. Thanks Hizb!!

You might need to look into other factors as well that might have contributed to unexpected results Further, you can make a fresh solution and fabricate the specimens in exact same way to see if it was indeed because of the CMC solution.
