Even if it is legal, it is highly unwise to handle formalin more than just the necessary. Besides that you have to have a very well documented protocol that ABSOLUTELY assures that there cannot be any carryover from one patient to the next.
I highly advise you to discard that idea!

Does anyone know if it's legal to wash and refill formalin biopsy bottles to
use from one patient to another? I can't find the info on OSHA or any other
web site.
