[Histonet] schiff's

[Swain, Frances L]

If you have a staining problem from the spill a weak solution of bleach
usually clears up any Schiff's that is dropped on the bench, floor, hands,
etc.

Schiff's reagent is my nemesis.  It's clear until it gets on anything
outside of the bottle.
Including the floor, clothing, and our fume hood.
(Our post-doc had a little accident.  Actually a rather large one, involving
1 L of Schiff's.)
