[Histonet] Tissue disoposal/formalin

[Piche, Jessica]

Good Afternoon,

I have a question regarding the dumping of tissue. How are your laboratories dumping tissue when it is time for disposal? Are you putting the specimens with 10% neutral buffered formalin in the waste containers and a company comes and removes them from your facility? I would appreciate any information that you can share.

Thank you,

Jessica Piche
