[Histonet] RE: Reagent Labeling Policy

[Pamela Marcum]

We go one step further.  If you don't label and initial a container of
solution you made in our lab it gets thrown out.  Not always a popular move
with students and fellows however, we don't have unknown bottles in the area
anymore.

Our reagent labeling policy is this.  When you prepare a reagent for use
such as a buffer.  The type of buffer is the first line, with the pH.  The
second line tells what date it was prepared, if there was an expiration date
and the third line is the person who prepared it.  When we receive new
chemicals, dyes etc we label them with the date that they were received and
the initals of the person who received the order.  I hope that is what you
are wanting to know.  We also designate on the first line whether it is an
aqueous solution or an alcoholic solution.  If we purchase the solution
ready made we have what we call a working solution bottle of those reagents
that can be reused which are labeled with the solution, where it was
purchased, when it was received, when it was opened.  When to discard it, if
known.

Does anyone have a reagent labeling policy that they would be willing to
share.  Thanks in advance
