Formamide-15N

Formamide-15N is the 15N labeled Formamide (HY-Y0842) . Formamide is an effective DNA denaturant that significantly reduces the stability of DNA in buffer solutions. Formamide can also be used as a decalcifying agent for rat cardiac cells. Additionally, formamide is widely used as a solvent or chemical raw material for ion compounds, resins, and plasticizers.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
