Color coding with sticker "dots" helps a bit. I designate a color for each year (5 yrs/5 colors max) On the top of that years color I put a date (usually 6/08 whatever) and make them easier to spot. (Pardon the pun!)You can find color dots in the office supply catalog, Office Max (or similar) or the craft stores. Happy Holidays To All!

I am hoping for some clever ideas on the best method to check for expired reagents. We all know that we shouldn't use them, I'm sure we all actively monitor this (right)! I must admit we occasionally have expired reagents - a stain or buffer we haven't used in a while is in a cupboard or fridge & it has expired. What do others do to monitor & prevent this from happening? We have a weekly safety check that spot checks a certain # of reagents for expiration, but we probably have thousands of reagents & don't check every single bottle every week. Thanks for the input.
