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.
