I have not heard much good about the Shandon processor. For reliability go with
a VIP every time. This comes from MANY years in the field. I have never had
problems with one.

Hi all,
I have a query from a colleague doing research on neuroanatomy as to whether
it is possible ( with relative ease) to cut 20mu sections from JB4 resin
embedded tissue? Apparently these sections ae to be stained and then used
for stereomicroscopy. My experience is not that extensive to be
I would disagree as I am on my third Shandon in a long career and have never
had a problem with any of them. Age and growth in nneds got them. Currently
we use a Pathcentre and it has been excellent. If you haven't used one it is
hard to comment on how they work and how the company works
Hi All,
We have a question regarding the disposal of formaldehyde. We were told at our
hospital that a consultant said it was okay to dump formaldehyde down the
drain. I believe they said it was okay to dump 15 gallons or so a day! We are
not to fond of this idea and would like to know what
I'm in Indiana. Here, it is up to the city. We dump all of ours down the drain
and supposedly the city has ok'd that. They say that our hospital is big enough
that all of the water used here will dilute the formalin enough to make it ok.
However I had heard, back when I was in school that
First ... even if the local authorities allow this ... it doesn't make Green
sense to do it, especially when there are other very workable alternatives.
The path we chose was to purchase a very simple gravity feed recycler produced
and sold by Creative Waste Solutions (888) 795-8300. Check
The same recycler is used here for us. we are absolutely not allowed to put
formaldehyde/formalin or EtOH or Xylene down the sink. If you don't use a
recycler, hire a waste company to handle it.

We dump very little down the drain. Formalin has not been drained dump since
1988. We used to have it hauled away, because the former administration never
got into re-cycling the formalin.
What we do today, is too de-formalize the formalin, test it and then drain
dumped if it passes. We buy the

Hi All,

Ugh. We are not allowed to dispose any chemical, including formaldehyde,
down our drains here at UB (Buffalo, NY). Everything goes into
appropriately-labeled waste bottles for Hazardous Waste to dispose of,
however they do it.

I have to disagree. Although it certainly is not environmentally friendly to
dispose of formalin down the drain, it is not prohibited. At the hospital
where I worked, a city inspector came to the lab and and designated in writing
how many gallons of formalin could be put in the sewer system

Jennifer,
Ooh, I like that! I'll start doing the same first thing Monday.

So I guess another analogy would be that's OK to dump any chemical into the
ocean even though we know that it kills life. Some countries do this and say
it's OK while the more thoughtful ones have strict rules about it. Think about
it...Formalin kills, can you assure that it will be dissipated
Hi All-
There is no 'one' answer to this. Small reference labs may be under different
regs than a 500 bed hospital even if they are in the same ZIP code.
Talk to your management and gain permission to call the local water and waste
authority. Please go through proper chain of command

I am in a veterinary diagnostic lab. In the past we have had very few requests
for IHC and have always sent slides out to another lab to perform IHC as
needed. It is time for us to start doing our own and join the modern age. We

Formaldehyde can mess up the bacteria that treat the sewage. We used to
neutralize our formaldehyde with Richard Allen's Vytac and send the results
down the drain. Two years ago we were told that we would have to get a license

Hi Doug and Histonet,
Thanks for the clarification on the company tree. You are absolutely correct!
Have a great weekend fellow histonet subscribers! As for me, I'm packing and
