About Formaldehyde solution, for molecular biology

Formaldehyde solution (CAS 50-00-0) is a molecular biology reagent offered by Vaqora Chemicals (Molecular Biology grade), specified at 36.5–38% purity. Formula CH2O, molecular weight 30.03 g/mol. The IUPAC name is formaldehyde. It is also known as Formalin or methanal.

It is supplied as a colourless liquid. Key physical data: a density of 1.09 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep the container tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry area. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Key uses span electrophoresis, DNA/RNA workflows, protein analysis and molecular biology workflows. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and diagnostics and biotechnology.

Standard pack sizes are 500 mL, 5 L and 4 x 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
