[Histonet] PFA preparation

[Sherwood, Margaret]

I stopped making up paraformaldehyde from the powder; too toxic.  Another
colleague told me she buys it in a 16% solution, EM grade from EMS (10 x 10ml
vials).  I started using that, along with the glutaraldehyde to prepare my
working solution.

Anyone have a decent method to prepare paraformaldehyde.  I have the powder and
the NOAH, hood, heat source but forgot the method.
