Product Overview
FORMAMIDE 99.5% Molecular Biology is a high-purity solvent specifically designed for molecular biology applications, ensuring ultra-low levels of DNase and RNase contaminants. This grade is critical for processes requiring stringent purity, such as nucleic acid denaturation, hybridization, and sequencing. The formulation undergoes rigorous quality control to eliminate impurities that could interfere with sensitive biochemical reactions. Its high polarity and low volatility make it an ideal solvent for dissolving nucleic acids and other polar biomolecules without degrading them. The product is compatible with standard laboratory protocols and is widely used in PCR, in situ hybridization, and DNA/RNA extraction workflows. Stored in airtight, amber glass bottles to prevent contamination and degradation, this FORMAMIDE maintains stability under recommended conditions. Researchers and lab professionals rely on its consistency to achieve reproducible results in demanding applications.
