Additional Description:

IBI Formamide is used in hybridization, electrophoresis applications, and to denature DNA and RNA. IBI Formamide is supplied in an amber glass bottle, it is distilled, deionized, and packaged under nitrogen to prevent oxidation. Bottles that have been opened and stored should be deionized prior to use by mixing 1 gm of mixed bed resin per 10 ml of formamide for 30 minutes. It is a clear liquid amide derived from formic acid.

The purity of IBI formamide is determined by way of gas chromatography.
