Subject: Formalin tablets or power

Where can I obtain formalin tablets or powder for sterilization by vaporization of either of these?
Please advise. Thank you.

Dear,

By vaporization of formaline tablets or powder you can NOT sterilize.
So my urgent advise is not to buy it.
The answers on questions Q00275, Q00166, Q00138 and others in the category Low Temperature Sterilization explain why.
EN 1418O "Sterilizers for medical purposes - Low temperature steam and formaldehyde sterilizers - requirements and test methods" gives the requirements a formaldehyde sterilizer has to meet.

Best regards,
Wim Renders
