6.1.8 Adding Formalin
The Formalin Dispense system on a grossing station utilizes a siphon hose and a transfer pump to fill up a reservoir tank
located in the hood of the unit. This enables a very controllable gravity-fed dispense from a simple lever pull on the
spigot.
o The Syphon Hose is intended to be connected to your formalin supply container (cut factory zip tie to
uncoil hose). Most cubitainers utilize a quick disconnect. Insert the connector and pull to make sure it’s
latched.
o If you are pumping from a formalin barrel remove the supplied quick disconnect fitting and directly
insert the end of the siphon hose into the barrel. Watch for bag liners, do not suck them up in the hose.
