Formalin Chamber A medical formalin chamber is a controlled environment used primarily in medical and laboratory settings for the safe storage and handling of formalin, a solution of formaldehyde in water. Formalin is commonly used as a preservative and disinfectant due to its ability to fix and preserve biological tissues. Here are some key aspects of a formalin chamber: Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial because formaldehyde vapors can be harmful if inhaled. The chamber should have an effective exhaust system to maintain safe air quality and prevent vapor buildup. Temperature Control: The chamber may have temperature controls to ensure that formalin is stored at an optimal temperature, which can help maintain its effectiveness and prevent degradation. Safety Features: Safety features include protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection for users. The chamber might also be equipped with safety alarms or sensors to detect and alert users to any issues with formaldehyde levels or ventilation.
