Formaldehyde Solution 10% is a dilute aqueous aldehyde solution used in laboratory and clinical settings for sample fixation, preservation, and controlled chemical reactions, providing reliable cross-linking activity with reduced concentration compared to higher-strength formulations.
🏭⚗️ Production
Prepared under strictly regulated conditions to ensure accurate aldehyde concentration, low stabilizer-related impurities, and high solution clarity. Each batch is quality-checked for assay, pH stability, and absence of particulate matter. Packaged in airtight, chemical-resistant containers to prevent vapor release and maintain solution integrity during storage and handling.
🔬 Properties
A clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, characteristic odor. Chemically reactive and capable of protein cross-linking. Miscible with water and stable under recommended storage conditions. Volatile and potentially irritating; store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat and light.
🧪 Applications
Used as a fixative and preservative in histology, cytology, and laboratory workflows requiring controlled aldehyde activity. Supports sample stabilization, morphological preservation, and analytical procedures where a moderate concentration is sufficient. Provides reproducible performance in controlled laboratory environments.
⚠️ Safety
Toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Causes irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract; inhalation of vapors may be harmful. Handle only with appropriate PPE, including gloves, lab coat, and eye protection, and work in well-ventilated areas or fume hoods. Store securely in tightly closed containers away from incompatible materials, heat, and light, and follow proper hazardous chemical disposal guidelines.
