Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is the most widely used chemical fixative. Formaldehyde is water-soluble, colourless and toxic. Granular or powdered paraformaldehyde is dissolved in hot water to become a formaldehyde solution.

Formaldehyde reacts with primary amines on proteins and nucleic acids to form partially-reversible methylene bridge crosslinks.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde solutions are widely used in histology, pathology, and laboratory workflows for tissue fixation, preservation, and sample stabilisation. Available in standard 37% formaldehyde solutions as well as buffered and combined fixatives, these chemicals provide consistent performance for routine and specialised applications. Suitable for research laboratories, universities, and clinical environments, formaldehyde products support reliable specimen preparation and long-term storage.
