Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ 16% Formaldehyde (w/v), Methanol-Free is a high-purity fixative reagent packaged in convenient, sealed ampules to deliver consistent, contamination-free formaldehyde every time. Prepared from premium-grade granular paraformaldehyde in distilled/deionized water, this solution is methanol-free and ideal for reversible crosslinking of proteins and nucleic acids in fixed-cell applications.
The ampule format ensures maximum stability, preventing degradation and oxidation caused by air or light exposure. This eliminates the need for labor-intensive preparation from solid paraformaldehyde, reducing risk and improving reproducibility across applications like IHC, ChIP, and bioimaging.
