Formamide (Standard)
Formamide (Standard) is the analytical standard of Formamide. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Formamide is an effective DNA denaturant that significantly reduces the stability of DNA in buffer solutions. It induces apoptosis by promoting the formation of cyclic nucleotides and the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation processes of nucleotides, making it useful in cancer research. Formamide can also be used as a decalcifying agent for rat cardiac cells. Additionally, formamide is widely used as a solvent or chemical raw material for ion compounds, resins, and plasticizers.[4]
