How to RFID label a kit?
If you order a kit with many different buffers of different chemical compositions, you can enter the kit as a whole. You may put multiple CAS numbers if there are multiple hazardous components in the CAS field and estimate the total quantity (liquid) as the volume. If something has no CAS number, you can also put N/A.
If you have at least one full kit on hand at a time, you can use static barcodes for your kit (one RFID per kit). For the size, just add all the quantities together; an estimate is acceptable.
How to acquire a benchtop biohazard bin?
First, you need to ensure that you are authorized to work with biological materials through Work Planning and Control. Once you have reviewed the LBNL medical/biohazardous waste disposal procedures, you can either purchase one through eBUY or VWR.
