Mike,

Maybe you could hook up UV lights inside the cabinets.

Dear Histonetters.

This is more a question for the Microbiologists than Histopathologists, but
does any one out there know of an alternative method for decontaminating a
Class II Biohazard Cabinet other than using formaldehyde gas???
We've got 30 of these "beasts" scattered throught our Organisation and have
experienced two near fatalities in the past 6 months due to certain "know
it all" idiots who did not follow our Standard Operating Procedures.
Thanks in advance.

Mr.M.Kirby.
