I remember in the Olde Days (1971-76 or so) we got our ethanol in 50 gallon drums and it was my job to color the alcohol with something pink so it would be "recognized". Don't remember what the "pink" stuff was and I'm sure there was a reason for coloring it but I was young and didn't think I need

At our university in Buffalo, NY, we have to sign out the alcohol we purchase from the university (we could buy it from Sigma or other places, I suppose, but generally want to avoid the SH fee). I was told the State of NY required the signature...why? So if we're caught driving drunk they can l

Our alcohol (95 to 100%) is sold by the university only, we don't get a choice. Hopefully if I ever need to use molecular biology grade, the stuff they sell will be good enough. Is it regulated in other universities? I have no idea why they do this, unless they think we're going to have parties.

Caroline I would not recommend using the same alcohol for histo that you use for molecular work. Assuming by "molecular" you mean isolating DNA/RNA, cloning, etc. You'll want a higher grade, more expensive alcohol for nucleic acid work then the histological stuff that comes in a 55 gal drum.
