Clover,
	I work in a fume hood. Use a large metal pan in which I place a
styrofoam block, the kind that 25ml centrifuge tubes come in, covered with
foil in the center of the pan. I use bench paper on the block to absorb
fluids. Perfuse disect and then wrap the ramains in the bench paper for
disposal. Excess liquid is collected in the pan and disposed per our
protocol. Works well for me hope this helps.
