PARAFORMALDEHYDE Use and Manufacturing

Used for manufacturing various structural parts in automobiles, electrical appliances, instruments, agricultural machinery, daily products and building materials


Paraformaldehyde is not a fixative. It must depolymerize into formaldehyde in solution. In cell culture, a typical formaldehyde fixation procedure involves placing the specimen on ice for 10 minutes using a 4% formaldehyde solution in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In histological and pathological specimen preparation, the fixation step is typically performed for at least 24 hours using 10% neutral buffered formalin (4% formaldehyde).
