Hello,
We got a question from a TA coordinator about collecting large amounts of Gram stain and the best way to do rinsing to collect it as waste without high chances of splash back.
One option that was suggested was to use bins in the sink to then transfer to a waste container or directly rinse Gram stain into the waste container. The issue that by using a squirt bottle or sink into the waste container, the container sits high enough that
it would create splash back onto the students.
The second option was not as feasible; it was to have the plumbing disconnected and have the bin placed directly under the drain. Seemed like the best option until we discovered we cannot have the plumbing disconnected in this space.
Would anyone have any good ideas?
Thank you,
