Descrição geral

Formamide, also referred to as Carbamaldehyde, is an amide compound derived from formic acid. It plays a crucial role in biochemical research, particularly in denaturation and renaturation of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). This includes applications like hybridization, sequencing gel electrophoresis, and electron microscopy. In molecular biology, BioUltra Formamide finds extensive use in various applications such as nucleic acid hybridization buffers, genetic fingerprinting, Southern and Northern blotting, as well as YAC screening. It typically functions by lowering the melting temperature of nucleic acid hybrids, facilitating their manipulation, and can enhance denaturation conditions in sequencing gels for more robust results.

Aplicação

A formamida desestabiliza as duplas de ácidos nucleicos e pode ser usada, tipicamente, em uma concentração de 50% em protocolos de hibridização que requerem temperatura de hibridização mais baixas.
Formamide has been used:
  • as a component in the hybridization buffer for in situ hybridization as a component of solution X to wash the slides to remove the coverslips
  • in the preparation of denaturation solution for spectral karyotyping (SKY) analysis
  • in the preparation of 1% formaldehyde solution for the pretreatment of slides for comparative genomic hybridization (CGH)
  • to prepare pre-hybridization buffer I, II, III, IV, and hybridization buffer I, II, and III for RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH)
  • as an ionizing solvent in the production of formic esters and vitamin, a softener for paper, in animal glues, and water-soluble gums, in molecular biology as a denaturing agent

Ações bioquímicas/fisiológicas

Formamide serves as a good solvent for polar organic and inorganic compounds with potential catalytic activity in prebiotic processes due to its high dielectric constant.

Características e benefícios

  • Versatile and adaptable for a wide variety of laboratory and research applications
  • BioUltra Grade for your Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemical research
  • Tested to confirm low levels of heavy metal contamination, ensuring suitability for various applications
  • Free from DNase, RNase, NICKase and proteaseTested for trace levels of Anions and Cations

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  4. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
