I suggest having your bio-med or engineering department check the
generator exhaust belts that power the ventilation to see if they have
worn, slipped or have broken...

Tim,
We have also been using the locking plastic containers that have a
rubber gasket around the lid. We place the Sakura rack inside of this
container and then place it in a larger container of the same design and
this is placed in a third container or an ice chest with formalin
neutralizing
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
My pathologist has made a gram neg/pos control block for us to use.
He made this by taking separate cultures of each and suspended them in
histo gel. The control stains well. My question is: Since we are
performing gram stain on tissues exclusively, will this cultured control
be an accepted
