: [Histonet] Formalin and Operating Rooms
I would be interested in the replies as well. To add to that, I've
heard the same thing about glutartaldehyde, do the same rules apply?
Thanks,
Paula

I know of no rules, though there may well be. I do know that several
years ago
Johnson Johnson just a few days ago announced that they're going to take
formaldehyde out of baby shampoo!
No wonder I can't get my baby's hair squeeky clean anymore! How much
formalin do I need to add to replace the formalin they took out?
Sincerely?
