Formalin Solution

Listing ID #4120760

Product Details :

• It is a solution in water of the gas formaldehyde (CH₂O).
• A saturated solution contains about 40% by volume — or 37% by weight — of the gas, plus a small amount of a stabilizer, usually 10-12% methanol; this prevents polymerization.
• The liquid is used as an embalming fluid and for the preservation of animal specimens and tissue samples.
• It is also used, generally in a much more dilute form, as a disinfectant, and anti-bacterial wash and in aquariums for treating parasite infections in fish.
