product overview

Formaldehyde 4% Buffered (pH 6.9) is a meticulously prepared, high-quality solution engineered for critical applications in histology. This specialized formulation ensures optimal preservation of tissue samples, a fundamental step for accurate morphological assessment and advanced research. The precise buffering at pH 6.9 is crucial, as it effectively minimizes the formation of acid hematin pigment, a common artifact associated with unbuffered formaldehyde, thereby ensuring clearer microscopic visualization. Our solution provides excellent cellular detail retention, essential for pathologists, researchers, and educators in India who demand unwavering reliability and consistency in their laboratory work.

Manufactured under stringent quality control standards, this Formaldehyde solution guarantees batch-to-batch uniformity, critical for reproducible experimental outcomes. Its stability ensures a prolonged shelf-life, making it a dependable staple in any histology laboratory, from university research facilities to clinical diagnostic centers. The buffering capacity not only maintains the physiological pH crucial for tissue integrity but also enhances the overall quality of fixed specimens, preparing them ideally for subsequent processing, staining, and microscopic examination. Investing in this buffered formaldehyde means investing in precision and confidence, knowing that your valuable samples are preserved with the utmost care, reflecting true cellular architecture and molecular localization without compromise. This product is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern scientific inquiry, ensuring that your investigations are built upon a foundation of expertly prepared biological materials.
