What is difference between formaldehyde and formalin?
They are essentially the same thing. Formalin is the histologist's term for a solution of formaldehyde stabilized with a small percentage of methanol.

Formaldehyde is probably used more often to disinfect equipment in a fumigation-type process, where a closed space is filled with formaldehyde vapor. I think this is done by heat-sublimation of solid para-formaldehyde.
