Use carboys provided by the Radiation Safety Office. Carboys must have secondary containment. No filters, pipette tips, stir bars, gels, etc. are allowed. Remove external contamination prior to waste pickup. Each carboy must be labeled with a Radioactive Waste Tag.
Vials are to be stored upright in their flats.
Up to five flats can be taped together and labeled with one Radioactive Waste Tag. Do not include dry vials, test tubes or any other waste forms. Vials must have tight, secure tops to prevent leakage during storage. Researchers are encouraged to use the biodegradable media to minimize the volume of flammable liquids on hand and to minimize the volume of hazardous waste generated. Use of these nuclides is limited to the biodegradable media.
