Hi,

I mixed a 1:50 solution about a week ago. Found out today that I still had a litre of the solution left.

Can I still use it? Does it keep once mixed? It had turned pretty dark.

Thanks
Chris

Rodinal keeps for many years in it's bottle, but not diluted. Dilute only what you intend to use immediately. Don't make large quantities of solution. It has probably gone bad. Use a syringe if you want to get very small quantities. By the way, rodinal gets dark undiluted, but it still works.
