[Histonet] disposal of formalin

[Rene J Buesa]

After testing ALL available "neutralizers" in the market I was able to detect the presence of "aldehyde" (formalin) in the "neutralized" product. 
In consequence I decided that the best option, albeit not the cheapest, was to contract a specialized company to take of the disposal.
Mind that even when you contract somebody to do your disposal, your lab is responsible for any disposal problems. 
Your lab is responsible for the formalin you use "from cradle to tomb"

Would anyone be willing to share how formalin is disposed of at your
facility?  Neutralization, disposal off site, etc.  Thank you.
