Formaldehyde Solution

Product Code : SCL-LC-12198

The Formaldehyde Solution Reagent is an aqueous formaldehyde laboratory chemical used in authorised biology, chemistry, pathology and research laboratories for approved preservation, fixation and method-specific reagent work. It is intended for trained personnel with ventilation, PPE, SDS access, restricted storage and hazardous-waste controls.

Product Description

Formaldehyde Solution from Science Lab Supplies is positioned as a controlled laboratory chemical for institutional use. The supplied product name confirms formaldehyde solution as the chemical identity, but concentration, stabiliser content, pack size, assay, grade, batch number, SDS and Certificate of Analysis must be verified before catalogue publication.

Formaldehyde is also called methanal, methyl aldehyde or formalin when supplied as an aqueous solution. Because formaldehyde solutions are toxic, irritating and associated with carcinogenic exposure hazards, this product is not suitable for casual classroom demonstrations or unsupervised student handling.

Key Features

• Defined chemical identity: formaldehyde solution, CAS 50-00-0 for formaldehyde component.
• Controlled laboratory use: suitable only for authorised fixation, preservation and method-specific procedures.
• Concentration to confirm: percentage strength and stabiliser/methanol content must be verified from SDS and COA.
• Pack size to confirm: bottle volume or net quantity must be checked before publication.
• Grade to confirm: do not claim LR, AR, histology grade or buffered grade without documentation.
• Ventilation required: use with fume hood or local exhaust controls as specified by SDS.
• Documentation required: SDS, COA, batch number, concentration and regulatory classification should be confirmed before supply.

How to Use the Formaldehyde Solution

1. Verify the label, concentration, stabiliser content, batch number, expiry date and SDS before use.
2. Use only in an authorised laboratory area with ventilation or fume-hood controls.
3. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye/face protection, lab coat and any PPE specified by the SDS.
4. Dispense only the minimum required volume using compatible glassware or transfer equipment.
5. Keep the container closed except during controlled dispensing.
6. Avoid inhaling vapour or mist and prevent skin, eye and clothing contact.
7. Return the bottle to restricted compatible storage immediately after use.
8. Collect residues and contaminated items as formaldehyde-containing hazardous waste.

Safety note: Formaldehyde Solution Reagent is toxic, irritating and associated with carcinogenic exposure hazards. Do not use it for routine classroom demonstrations, household disinfection, food, cosmetic, medical self-use or unauthorised preservation work.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a clearly labelled, compatible chemical container.
• Keep in a ventilated chemical-storage area away from heat, ignition sources and incompatible substances.
• Use secondary containment and maintain current SDS access near the storage location.
• Do not use if the bottle is leaking, unlabelled, expired, crystallised, contaminated or stored outside approved controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Formaldehyde Solution Reagent used for?

Formaldehyde Solution Reagent is used in authorised laboratories for approved specimen preservation, tissue fixation and method-specific aldehyde chemistry procedures.

What is the formula of formaldehyde?

The formaldehyde component is written as CH₂O or HCHO. The final solution concentration must be confirmed from the product label and SDS.

What is the CAS number of formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde is commonly listed as CAS 50-00-0. Confirm the final solution classification from the supplied SDS before publication.

Is formaldehyde solution hazardous?

Yes. Formaldehyde solution should be handled as a toxic, irritating and carcinogen-controlled laboratory chemical requiring ventilation, PPE and restricted storage.

What pack size is available?

The pack size is not confirmed. Add bottle volume or net quantity only after checking the final Science Lab Supplies product specification.

Can formaldehyde solution be used in schools?

It is not suitable for routine school demonstrations. Only authorised school or college laboratories with trained staff, ventilation, SDS access and hazardous-waste controls should handle it.
