Paraformaldehyde 4% in 0.1M Phosphate Buffer pH 7.4 is a solution of paraformaldehyde, a white crystalline polymer of formaldehyde, in a phosphate buffer with a pH of 7.4. The solution is prepared for laboratory use and is commonly used as a fixative for biological tissues to preserve their structure and prevent degradation. It is also used as a cross-linking agent in the synthesis of organic compounds and as a disinfectant in various applications. The phosphate buffer maintains a stable pH, ensuring that the paraformaldehyde remains in its optimal fixative state.

Paraformaldehyde 4% in 0.1M Phosphate Buffer pH 7.4 is commonly used as a fixative in biological research to preserve cells or tissues for further analysis. It can also be used for:
