I need to work with a large amount of sucrose and antifreezing solution, so I was thinking about prepare a stock solution of both. Can I do that? If so, how long can I store them?
So long as they are kept sterile and well sealed, then they should be good for years. However most bottles don't seal really well and you will lose some water due to evaporation which will somewhat increase the concentration of sucrose or other ingredients. But if you are sampling from the same bottle repeatedly you are also likely to introduce contamination over time, so be cautious.
