EXAKT’s water-cooled pathology saw can reduce the amount of aerosolized formaldehyde
As hospitals and other pathology facilities process tissue samples in formaldehyde solution, it produces aerosolized formaldehyde (HCHO) in the air during the cutting process of the tissue samples. This research measures the level of formaldehyde produced during the processing of the sample (before cutting using the saw machine) and measures the effect of sawing techniques on HCHO emission rate from the cutting of formaldehyde-soaked bone.
