[Histonet] Formalin pH

[Cooper, Brian]

Ask your vendor to send a certificate of analysis that includes the pH. That's what we did and now they come with each lot. We do have to bug them for them occasionally.

I'm betting your vendor has at least heard about this from other customers so it should be on their radar at the very least.


Thanks,

Hello Histoteckies,
What are y'all doing regarding the CAP requirement to monitor the pH of formalin?
We buy tons and tons of the 5 gallon cubitainers and we are still debating over how to check the pH.

Looking forward to your replies.
Toodles!
Sincerely,

Paula Sicurello
