Can I ask where you got the info from about it containing arsenic?

One of our vets has just looked into this to write an SOP for PSS. Answer from Idexx as follows:

Idexx Procyte DX Reagent Kit - Not a hazardous substance according to GHS

HGB Reagent - Not a hazardous substance according to GHS

Lytic Reagent - Not a hazardous substance according to GHS

Retic Diluent - Not a hazardous substance according to GHS

As such these liquids can be flushed down the sink and containers can go into general waste.

Stain Pack - When expired or run out must be placed into pharmaceutical waste.

I always put ours in clinical waste as the liquid generally contains arsenic and 'bodily type' fluids - obviously hazardous to health, so have always assumed it should be incinerated. I don't know for sure, but have been disposing of it this way for many years and not had any problems.
