Some compounds are noted as light-sensitive. For reconstituted stocks sitting in cold storage, do people bother with amber vials or foil-wrapping, or is the freezer dark enough that it's moot?
Trying to decide whether to add amber vials to the order or whether I'm solving a problem that doesn't exist for fridge/freezer-stored material.
For freezer-stored material the freezer is dark, so amber is mostly moot there. Where amber/foil earns its keep is the bench: the time the stock spends out under room lighting while you work. Minimise the open-bench exposure and you've solved most of it.
That reframes it well — it's an exposure-time problem, not a storage problem. I'll skip amber vials for freezer stock and just keep light-sensitive ones covered while they're out. Thanks.
