[Histonet] Frozen section room

[Heckford, Karen - SMMC-SF]

Good Morning,
I have a question about how much reagents you can keep in a frozen section room.  Our frozen section is a little room off of Surgery.  When it was designed now one thought to ask us what it was going to need so there is little ventilation down there besides the typical room output and input.  No hood!!  We have a small H&E stain line, DQ and Toluidine Blue.   Can I keep a small amount of each reagent down there for topping off and changing out reagents?  I was thinking Pint bottles.

I am pretty sure there is regulations on this!
