Formaldehyde 10% Buffered

Formaldehyde is a colorless hazardous gas produced by the oxidation of methanol and utilized in laboratory applications as an antiseptic, disinfectant, histologic fixative, and general-purpose chemical reagent. Methanal, methylene oxide, oxymethyline, methyl aldehyde, and oxomethane are some of its other names. Formaldehyde 10% in water solution, is used as a disinfectant and to preserve biological specimens. Formaldehyde 10% Buffered is highly suited for high-throughput laboratories owing to its brief fixing time, but it can also be utilized for long-term tissue storage. Biologically, it has been found that Formalin fixation develops between the aldehydes and the proteins leading to a gel that preserves the in vivo interaction of cellular elements.
