Hi everyone! I just have one question: Can the whole formalin phosphate buffer be autoclaved? I'm not sure if I should do it because as far as I know formalin vapours are highly toxic... By mistake I prepared the formalin directly in the buffer before sterilization of the phosphate buffer alone...

I'm trying to kill Bacillus preserving it's structure by fixing them with 10% formalin to see them at SEM.

Thanks for the answer!!
