Description
Formaldehyde solution, low-methanol, is a 30 % aqueous reagent intended for laboratory fixation and related cell-biology workflows. The active component corresponds to CAS number 50-00-0 with empirical formula CH₂O and molar mass 30,03 g/mol; the solution shows a density of 1,09 g/cm³, boiling point around 97 °C and flash point in the range 66 to 73 °C. Low-methanol formulation supports applications where reduced alcohol content is preferred during sample preparation and fixation protocols. EG number 200-001-8 identifies the substance for documentation. This grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned for life-science laboratories performing cell analysis and fixation steps that rely on a defined formaldehyde concentration. Use under appropriate fume-hood and personal-protection measures typical for aldehyde reagents in professional laboratory environments.
