Hi-
What types of antibodies? Human-source or non-human primate source or other mammals? Your state department of health likely has regulations regarding biomedical waste if this qualifies...it may not--depends if it is subject to OSHA BBP standard or recombinant. Apparently local areas in WA state also regulate biohazardous waste.
Here is a resource I found, not sure if UWashington is in your area (sorry, not familiar w.Pacific Northwest), hope it's helpful-
good luck-Margaret
thank you-
Margaret
Hello Everyone,
I wonder if anyone can give me an insight on good practices of antibody related materials disposal, and anything that has/potentially has contacted such materials (pipette tips, gloves, vials, tubes, etc.). Can this waste be discarded into regular trash.
Thank you,
