If you have a staining problem from the spill a weak solution of bleach
usually clears up any Schiff's that is dropped on the bench, floor, hands,
etc.

Subject: Re: [Histonet] schiff's
Schiff's reagent is my nemesis. It's clear until it gets on anything
outside of the bottle.
Including the floor, clothing, and our fume hood.
(Our post-doc had a little accident. Actually a rather large one, involving
1 L of Schiff's.)
