General description<\/h3>\n
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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Application<\/h3>\n
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.<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Physical form<\/h3>\n
This product is a solution of approximately 37% by weight of formaldehyde gas in water.<\/div>\n
