[Histonet] Disposal of Bouin's Solution

[Bob Richmond]

Lori Jones, CT(ASCP), Pathology Supervisor, Ingalls Memorial Hospital asks:

>>We use Bouin's Solution in our pathology department and are currently
disposing of it by neutralizing it with Vytac for formalin. I can't find
supporting documentation that this is the proper way to dispose of it. I'd
like to know if and how other institutions are neutralizing Bouin's
solution.<<

The best way to dispose of Bouin's fixative is by not buying it at all.
What do you use it for? There are substitutes for it for most purposes.
