Formamide is the simplest monocarboxylic acid amide and is a clear liquid derived from formic acid. It has applications in drug, hydrocyanic acid, pesticide, and herbicide manufacturing and is used as a solvent for resins, plasticizers, and ionic compounds.
Highly deionized (Hi-Di) formamide is used to resuspend samples before electrokinetic injection in capillary electrophoresis systems. This smaller configuration (5 mL) minimizes the number of freeze/thaw cycles compared to larger volumes and may be a better choice when running a smaller number of...
Hi-Di™ Formamide is a highly de-ionized formamide, formulated with a stabilizer, for use as an injection solvent on Applied Biosystems® 3500 Dx Series genetic analyzers. This highly deionized formamide is used to resuspend samples before electrokinetic injection in capillary electrophoresis systems...
Formamide is used for cryopreservation of tissues and organs and in hybridization buffers. It acts as an RNA stabilizer in gel electrophoresis by deionizing RNA. It is used as an alternative solvent for the electrostatic self-assembly of polymer nanofilms.
Formamide is used in the synthesis of medicine, animal glue and other organic compound. It is also used as a solvent which ionizes water-insoluble compounds. It is used as a softening agent for paper and fiber. It is widely used in the fields of the spice, dye, plastic as well as textile industries.
