General description
It is an aliphatic aldehyde that is widely used in industrial applications for the synthesis of several chemicals such as melamine formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, phenol formaldehyde and industrial resins, paraformaldehyde, polyols, chelating agents, slow release fertilizers, 1,4-butanediol and hexamethylenetetramine.
Application
- denaturation and separation of RNA molecules
- anti-bacterial treatment
- fixation of cells
- in the fixation of human spermatogonial stem cell transplantation (SSCT).
- to crosslink T- cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia protein/DNA complex during chromatin immunoprecipitation.
- in fixing zebra fish larvae for neutrophil staining.
