[Histonet] Re:Formalin

From:Schaundra Walton



We neutralize our formalin and then dump down the drain.  We had been using Formalex, but are in the process of switching to Surgipath's D-Formalizer.  D-formalizer is a powder that you add to the formalin.  The pH remains neutral and there is a test kit you can get to be sure that the formalin has been neutralized.  Its easy to use, cost effective, and only takes about 15-30 minutes to work.  It's great.  Hope this helps.
