Hi Ann, The only certified formalin neutralizer that I know of is from Scigen. They also sell the test kit. Ask your company for their certification.. that the product actually works. Good luck, Carole Fields MLKCH Los Angeles, CA Scigen Scientific Inc. Manufacturer in Carson, California Addr

Re: [Histonet] Formaldehyde and Xylene Detector

We have used two types: 1. Badges that are worn and then returned for analysis (Advanced Chemical Sensors, www.acsbadge.com has badges for both formaldehyde and xylene) and 2. Badges that contain a color indicator that require no analysis, just a visual check

I would also be very grateful if you could help me with this issue. We are trying to monitor xylene and formaldehyde levels in our lab, but we cannot find adequate measurement devices. What do you use? is there any equipment capable of give you an envoiromental level of these products in the wa

Re: [Histonet] Formaldehyde annual education

Jim, You are correct. OSHA requires annual education for any personnel that handle formalin to be educated in the hazards, proper handling, etc... This can be as simple or as involved as you want to make it but it should cover the basics at the very least. Thanks, Julia Cates, HT(ASCP)cm P

Re: [Histonet] Formaldehyde sensors and badges

You can purchase trace gas badges from Mercedes medical. And a few other places. You just wear them or place them for a short term or long term exposure limit then package them back up and send them in. They send you the results. These badges meet CLIA/CAP guidelines. Hope this helps Kim _

Re: [Histonet] Formaldehyde sensors and badges

Both Leica and Statlab (probably many labs) sell fume monitor badges for both xylene and formaldehyde. Techs wear badges for work shift and then they are sent to company for analysis reports. Monitoring must be done with job/equipment change, new employees, new process¹, etc. Once levels are within

Well we still use Hematoxylin powder, Xylene ,Oil Red O, Beibrich scarlet and Congo red and we haven't been stopped yet. I'd think embalmer would be well-fixed and preserved ,rather than have a high mortality rate. Have the proven it's from formaldehyde? Whom knows what the get from a dead body? B

Lab Safety Supply has the option to order the badges for formaldehyde and Xylene and when you order, you pre-pay for the analysis. Formalin is $476.00 for 5 monitors. Xylene is $259.00 for 4 monitors. They email you a very nice report for your file, and it only takes about a week to 10 days.

Formaldehyde fumes require filters which have been treated with Potassium Permanganate. Normal activated charcoal filter will not trap formaldehyde fumes. -- Best regards! Cliff Berger Decal Chemical Corp 1-800-428-5856 - Office 914-588-5019 - Cell On 12/3/09 12:35 PM, "Kathy M. Gorham"

Re: [Histonet] FORMALDEHYDE

Regardless of what others may be experiencing with a similar station, I think that you should check the filters of yours and the air circulation. As to formalin substitutes I am sending you under separate cover an article on the subject. René J. --- On Thu, 12/3/09, Kathy M. Gorham wrote: Fro

Bob, Thanks for that. I am not sure how the bisulphite method works. I picked it up from a reference on formalin neutralisation but have never tried it. And would you believe that after some searching I can't even find that reference (I probably have it on my home computer). I have a suspician t
