What is the safety and toxicity level of the FineFIX working solution?
FineFIX is much less toxic than formalin. The allowable exposure limit of FineFIX (when reconstituted into a working solution by the addition of ethanol) is 1,000 ppm, versus a limit of 0.75 ppm for conventional Formalin (10%). As ethanol is the predominant chemical in the FineFIX working solution and is highly flammable, safety procedures must be in accordance with the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for ethanol.
