About Formamide, for UV spectroscopy

Formamide is a specialty grade solvent (Spectroscopy grade) carrying the CAS registry number 75-12-7 with a typical assay of 99.5%. With the molecular formula CH3NO, it has a molar mass of 45.04 g/mol. Common synonyms include Amide C1 and Formic amide.

In its supplied form it is a clear colourless liquid. Reported physical data include a melting point of 2-3 °C and a density of 1.134 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

It is commonly used for UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy, spectrophotometric blanks and sample dissolution. Typical end-use sectors are academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

We offer Formamide in 500 mL, 1 L and 160 kg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
