FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Formaldehyde 36% AnalaR NORMAPUR® ACS reagent?
The shelf life is typically 12-24 months when stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
2. Is this formaldehyde solution compatible with plastic containers for storage?
While it can be stored in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene containers, prolonged contact with some plastics may cause degradation. Glass or specially rated plastic containers are recommended for long-term storage.
3. What alternatives are available if this specific grade is unavailable?
Alternatives include formaldehyde solutions of similar concentration (37-40%) with ACS or reagent-grade certification. However, ensure the alternative meets the same purity standards for your application.
4. How should this formaldehyde solution be handled for safety?
Always use in a fume hood with proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation and skin contact, as formaldehyde is a known irritant and carcinogen.
5. Can this product be used for histological fixation?
Yes, this high-purity formaldehyde solution is commonly used for tissue fixation in histology due to its ability to preserve cellular structures effectively.
