Subject: [DCHAS-L] Dilute Ethidium Bromide Disposal in California
Hello All,
There seems to be varying opinion on how to dispose of very dilute solutions of ethidium bromide. The concentration in question is 0.5 micrograms/ml of buffer. By hazardous waste definition, this would not be considered a hazardous waste,
but I believe some of our California universities and colleges recommend filtration of the ethidium bromide before disposal at any concentration.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
--
