About Formaldehyde 30%

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 30% is a solution that consists of 30% formaldehyde gas dissolved in water, often with a small amount of methanol to stabilize the solution and prevent polymerization. Formaldehyde 30% 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.
