Others have mentioned the 'tea bags' etc. 

On another point, if you are using ethidium bromide primarily for
nucleic acid staining, we have found people are pretty happy with GelRed
(http://www.biotium.com/product/price_and_info.asp?item=41001&Sub_secti
o
n=09A ).

 

Remembering after elimination, substitution is the highest form of
safety control!

 

Cheers, Paul

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Ethidium Bromide Disposal

Hi all,

We are looking at our procedures for disposal of ethidium bromide in all
forms, and are wondering what other facilities are doing.  If anyone has
written procedures that they are willing to share, I would greatly
appreciate it.  

Thanks,
Wendy
