Deionized Formamide, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Deionized Formamide is used in molecular biology and as a denaturing agent for nucleic acids in gel electrophoresis or hybridization experiments.

• Deionized Formamide is used in molecular biology and a denaturing agent for nucleic acids in gel electrophoresis orr hybridization experiments. In the latter case the role of formamide is to decrease the temperature necessary for the reassociation of complementary nucleic acids.
• Used in Southern and Northern analyses; 50% or greater concentration for in situ hybridization techniques
