LifeX Formalin Chamber - 14" X 8" X 6" 3.5mm

Description:

The LIFEX Formalin Chamber is a high-quality, sealed enclosure designed specifically for the safe storage and fumigation of biological specimens using formaldehyde gas. Constructed from durable acrylic sheet, this chamber provides a controlled environment for preserving tissues, specimens, and anatomical samples, making it essential for laboratories, medical facilities, and educational institutions.

Key Benefits:

• Tissue Preservation: Provides an enclosed space for controlled and efficient preservation of biological tissues, maintaining structural integrity.
• Sterilization: The formalin fumes act as a disinfectant, reducing contamination risks during medical and laboratory procedures.
• Long-Term Storage: Suitable for the long-term preservation of specimens, ensuring integrity for histopathological examinations.
• Safety Features: Designed to minimize exposure to formaldehyde fumes, creating a safe environment for handling biological samples.

1. Place the specimens inside the chamber, ensuring they are adequately spaced.
2. Securely close the chamber to prevent the escape of formaldehyde vapors.
3. Allow the formaldehyde fumes to circulate for the desired preservation time.
4. Handle the chamber with care and follow safety guidelines when opening.

• Always use the chamber in a well-ventilated area to prevent exposure to formaldehyde fumes.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and goggles, when handling specimens and the formalin chamber.
• Follow all safety protocols related to the handling of formaldehyde.
