Description
Formaldehyde solution, non-acidic, is a minimum 37 % aqueous fixative prepared for histology and cell-analysis work, Identified by CAS number 50-00-0 and EG nr. 200-001-8, it has the empirical formula CH₂O, a molar mass of 30,03 g/mol, and a density of 1,09 g/cm³. The boiling range is 93 to 96 °C with a flash point of 62 °C, supporting controlled use in fixation protocols for tissue and cellular samples. Non-acidic formulation helps maintain specimen integrity during routine histological processing and cell-biology fixation steps. This grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned for life-science laboratories that require a reliable formaldehyde solution for morphology preservation prior to staining or further analysis. The one-litre plastic container suits bench and stock use in cell analysis and fixation workflows where consistent concentration and documented physical properties matter.

What is this article?
Formaldehyde solution, non-acidic, min. 37 %, for histology, 1 l, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Histology reagents & consumables, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Histology reagents are the fixatives, the solvents, the paraffins and the stains that turn a tissue into a readable section. The stain and the tissue, not the bottle size alone, choose the reagent. Many of these liquids are flammable or toxic and travel under dangerous-goods rules.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
