[Histonet] CBG recyler and recycled Formalin

[Nancy Schmitt]

Roy-
We use CBG recyclers - one for alcohol/xylene and one for formalin.  The formalin is tested and with a couple simple equations you determine whether you need to add water or formalin concentrate to get back to 10%, figure out total amount of formalin and another equation to determine the amount of buffer to add.

Hello,

We are getting a new CBG that recycles xylene , alcohol, and formalin.

We purchase buffered formalin? Does anyone know if after recycling the recycled formalin would or would not need be re-buffered??

Thanks in advance,
