It is recommended to use formalin jars once to avoid residual formaldehyde; if it is necessary to reuse it, it can be sterilized with high pressure steam at 121°C for 15 minutes, but it is necessary to confirm that the sealing ring is intact and not deformed.

What is the difference between a formalin cup and an ordinary sample cup?

Sdlabio’s formalin specimen jars are made of a more corrosion-resistant material, has a stronger sealing performance, is specially designed for fixing formaldehyde solution, and has a more complex cover structure (such as double-layer sealing and inner plug). It is not recommended to use ordinary urine cups or sample cups to hold formalin.

Will the formalin cup leak? Is it safe to transport?

Sdlabio’s formalin cup is equipped with a leak-proof seal and has passed the 95 kPa pressure leak test. Even if it is transported upside down, it can effectively prevent the fixative from leaking, meeting the safety requirements for medical sample transportation.

What operating specifications should be observed when using formalin storage container?

It is recommended to wear nitrile gloves and operate in a fume hood. The liquid surface must completely cover the tissue, tighten the lid and check whether there is liquid leakage, and affix the identification label.
