[Histonet] RE: FORMALDEHYDE

[Nails, Felton]

I have just purchased two Mopec MB600 grossing stations and we do not have this problem. Our pathologist actually rave about the unit.

Subject: [Histonet] FORMALDEHYDE

Good Morning Histo Land, I was just informed that on my last test sample for formaldehyde vapors was very high.  Right now I have to wear a respirator while grossing and assisting grossing.  We are looking at why the Mopec grossing station is not working in fact we have not had really good results since we put it in.  I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same problem or know of a better solution.  Our grossing station is the one that is self contained with filters. Also is anyone using with good result a formalin substitute? If so which one? 
Thanks and Have a great day,

Kathy Gorham, H.T.
