Descripción

Descripción general

Formaldehyde (formalin) is produced by oxidation of methanol. It is made of 37% formaldehyde and impurities such as methanol, small amounts of formic acid, aldehydes and ketones. It is used as a denaturant in formaldehyde-agarose gel electrophoresis of RNA.

Aplicación

Formaldehyde solution has been used as a fixing agent to fix cells during immunofluorescence imaging and for cross-linking cells during chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay.

Formaldehyde solution has been used for cross-linking/fixing of cells in ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) assay. It has been used for fixing of cells for imaging.

Forma física
