Hello, I need urgent advice.
A friend working in our lab got contaminated with diluted (1ml in 1l water)
ethidium bromide (a single finger got wet with the solution, because of
a hole in the glove). She washed her hands after a minute or so, when she
realized the problem, with water and soap. No trace of remaining ethidium
was shown under UV light on her finger.
We need to know urgently which controls she should carry out after that. The
security instruction refer to the following book:
Sambrook et al, "Molecular Cloning, A Lab Manual",
Cold Spring Harbor labs 1989.
As we don't own the book and would take some time ordering it, we would
be most grateful to anyone who cares to give any advice on what to do.
With best wishes and thanks in advance, Ferdinando Villa
