[Histonet] Air purifiers

[Tony Henwood]

Are you sure that it not the hydrogen peroxide that you may be allergic
to. The concentrated (30%) form will bleach your fingers if you are not
wearing gloves (or if there is a pinhole in them!) making them quite
itchy.

I am not aware of any cases of DAB allergy, though you may be the first
or, most probably I need to research this more.

Is there anyone else who might have a DAB allergy?
 
We probably need to have our OH&S committee look into it.

Hi histonetters,

 

Is there any Air purifiers for DAB?

 

I guess I am allergic to that reagent; I can test it after using.

I am OK to Formaldehyde, Xylene, Toluene, Glutaraldehyde, Alcohol,
Acetone because I use them in the hood, but DAB is a step in
autostainer.

 

Regards,

Naira
