[Histonet] C-14 radioactive tissues

[Grantham, Andrea L - (algranth)]

Does anybody work with tissue with carbon 14? if so, can you share a protocol?
Our radiation control people are more interested that I know atomic structure and how instruments are used to measure radioactivity work than how to actually work with the tissue. Are lab coats/aprons sufficient and nitrile gloves as protection? I understand you can breathe the stuff - face shield?
Thanks!
