Product Overview
Formaldehyde (37–40%), also known as formalin, is a concentrated aqueous solution of formaldehyde gas, commonly used in tissue fixation, specimen preservation, and disinfectant preparation. In its full-strength form, it serves as the base stock for creating buffered and diluted formulations tailored for histological or microbiological applications.
This high-concentration solution is ideal for laboratories that customize fixatives, such as 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin (NBF), and is used in the preparation of reagents where precise control of formaldehyde content is essential. It acts by cross-linking proteins, preserving tissue architecture and cellular detail for long-term storage and microscopic evaluation.
Key Features:
- Full-strength formaldehyde (37–40%) for custom reagent formulation
- Used in preparation of 10% NBF and other fixatives
- Effective for specimen preservation and microbial decontamination
- Provides maximum flexibility in laboratory applications
- For professional use in pathology, histology, and biological research
