Formaldehyde 4% (also known as Formalin 10%), saline-buffered for use in tissue sample fixation.

Formaldehyde 4% is a high-quality fixative solution specifically formulated for use in histopathology. This solution is ideal for preserving tissue specimens, ensuring their integrity and stability for accurate microscopic examination.

  • Effective Tissue Fixation: The 4% concentration of formaldehyde is optimized for halting enzymatic and bacterial degradation after tissue removal, preserving cellular and extracellular structures as closely as possible to their natural state.
  • Buffered Formulation: Buffered with salt, this solution maintains a stable pH level, which is crucial for preventing the formaldehyde from becoming acidic over time. This buffering ensures consistent fixation results and prevents potential degradation of the tissue sample.
  • Maintains Tissue Architecture: Cross-links proteins in the tissue, stabilizing cellular morphology and composition for reliable histological analysis.
  • Ease of Sectioning: Fixed tissues become firm and easy to cut into thin sections, facilitating smooth preparation for microscopic examination.
  • Long-term Storage: Provides excellent preservation, allowing tissue samples to be stored for extended periods without significant degradation.
  • Enhanced Staining: Ensures effective staining, making it easier to visualize and analyze different tissue components under the microscope.

Formaldehyde 4% is essential for accurate tissue fixation and reliable histopathological results, making it a staple in laboratory settings.

The product is CE-marked as a general IVD product in accordance with the In Vitro Diagnostic Directive (Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices).
