FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Formamide BAKER™ when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, Formamide BAKER™ typically maintains its stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this Formamide compatible with standard plastic labware?
Formamide can degrade certain plastics over time, so it is recommended to use glass or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers for long-term storage and handling to avoid contamination or container failure.
3. Are there any known alternatives to Formamide for nucleic acid hybridization?
Alternatives such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or urea can be used in some applications, but they may require adjustments to protocols due to differences in solvent properties and denaturing capabilities.
4. How should Formamide BAKER™ be disposed of after use?
Formamide should be disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations. It is classified as a hazardous waste and should be collected in designated containers for proper treatment or incineration by authorized facilities.
5. Does this Formamide require any special handling precautions?
Yes, Formamide should be handled in a well-ventilated fume hood, as it can release toxic vapors. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat, to minimize exposure.
