[Histonet] RE: Decon HydeAway

[Cates, Julia]

Jim,

We have used the HydeAway powder for several years now.  We use it to neutralize tissue before disposing.  Once the formalin "gels" the container is disposed of in a biohazard bag.  In our experience, if there is anything other than formalin in the container (Our Dr's use Disect Aid for lymph nodes) in will not "gel" properly.  In my opinion it is a very good product.

Anybody using Decon HydeAway for neutralization of 10% NBF.  If so what are your experiences and do you dispose of the product (gel) into your solid biological  waste for disposal?

In the past I have used Formalex or Formalex Green.  This material looks cheaper but cheaper is not always better of course.
