Overview / Applications

Outline	Formamide weakens the intra-base action inside single-strand DNA to maintain the single-stranded part in extended state and lowers the melting point (Tm) of DNA in hybrid formation¹⁾. Therefore, it is used in the buffer solution for DNA denaturation and hybridization in the DNA base sequencing by the Maxam-Gilbert method and Sanger's method, etc. and is one of organic reagents used frequently in the genetic field.This product, which is deionized and has minimized conductivity, is most suited as a denaturing agent in the electrophoresis for nucleic acid base sequencing, etc. and hybridization.Conductivity: max. 3 x 10 ^ -5 S/cm
Precautions for Use	Packed on inactive gas
