Note that manufacturers may make a family of scintillation cocktails with very similar names, but very different properties, making one an approved cocktail and its cousin an unapproved cocktail. Be very careful when ordering and using scintillation cocktails. Ensure that the proper scintillation cocktail is recorded on your Waste Tag also.
Although these liquid scintillation fluids are considered to be biodegradable and environmentally safe, please remember that they still present a disposal concern. Scintillation fluid wastes should only be disposed of through OEHS. Call OEHS at 313-577-1200 to request a waste collection or if questions arise.
