Re: [Histonet] Warm formalin
Hi Erin, Often heat is applied to formalin to speed up fixation. That said there is probably a temperature point where it goes from fixing tissue to cooking it.

[Histonet] Warm formalin
Hello everyone! We have a referring clinician that is concerned about leaving his specimens in an outdoor lockbox in the summer because the formalin will get hot. I don't think that having some specimens in formalin in hot weather would cause any problems but I can't find any references one way or another. Does anyone have any policies regarding this? Thanks so much!

Hello everyone! I had an peer announce that she is expecting! While it's a very exiting time here, this lab doesn't seem to have a protocol in place for pregnant histotechs. A quick google search doesn't turn up much either. Does anyone know of a clear protocol or can anyone point me in the right direction of one? SDS's mostly do not mention pregnancy.
