Formalin

Description

Formalin is a solution used as a disinfectant and preservative in biological laboratories and medical settings. It is made by dissolving formaldehyde gas in water, typically with a small amount of stabiliser like methanol.

Formaldehyde is a colourless, strong-smelling gas that can have harmful effects if inhaled in high concentrations. In its aqueous form as formalin, it can preserve biological tissues. This is because formaldehyde is a cross-linking agent that can fix cells and tissues, thereby preserving the structure of the cells and preventing decay.

Our Formalin solution is a meticulously prepared aqueous formulation of 37-40% formaldehyde gas dissolved in water, with a small percentage of methanol to stabilise the solution. It is designed to meet the stringent requirements of various professional environments, ensuring reliability and effectiveness in every use.
