If your 1.3% picric solution is in distilled water, there is not much you can 
do about it.If it is in acetone 38.4 mL contains 0.5 g of picric acid to which 
you can add 361.6 mL of acetone to get your desired concentration.René

 0.5 grams in 400 mL is 0.125%.  Dilute your 1.3% tenfold and it will be 
close enough.

Our current procedure for the Brown and Brenn Gram stain uses 0.5 grams of 
picric acid to 400mls of acetone........is there a way to use a 1.3% 
Picric Acid solution in place of the powdered Picric Acid?
