If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

Hi! My formaldehyde solution presents a white precipitate, and I think it can be paraformaldehyde. Can it still be used as formaldehyde, or is there a way to redisolve it and make it functional again? Thanks!
1 answer-
White precipitation occurs due to the formation of paraformaldehyde, a common phenomenon in formaldehyde solutions. This product contains 10-15% methanol as a stabilizer to slow down the process. Ideally, storage should be at 25°C, as lower temperatures accelerate polymerization. The formation of paraformaldehyde is reversible, so the product may still be usable. To achieve a clear solution, gently heat the cloudy solution up to 30°C for 1 to 2 hours, taking care not to overheat, as this can cause degradation.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

Can formaldehyde solution 37% be diluted to 10% formalin for fixing cells for staining? Do you dilute it with around 2.7 part water? Thank you!
1 answer-
How much water should be added to 100mL of a 37% solution to reduce its strength to a 10% solution?
Use C1 x V1= C2 x V2
37% x 100ml = 10% x V2
Therefore V2 = (37% x 100ml) / 10%
= 370 mLSubtract the total original volume from the new volume.
370 mL - 100 mL = 270 mL
So to reduce 100mL of 37% to 10% solution, add 270 mL of water to 100 mL of Formaldehyde solution - 252549-25ML.Helpful?

Which formaldehyde solution is recommended for use with the HT102A Reticulum kit?
1 answer-
When a silver stain procedure recommends a 10% formalin solution, it is referring to a 10% aqueous formalin solution, which is prepared by diluting 1 part of 37% to 40% formaldehyde with 9 parts deionized water. For histology, it is advisable to use ACS reagents when the product meets ACS Specifications. Suitable products for this purpose would be product numbers 252549 or FX0410. If a 37% to 40% formaldehyde solution is available, it should work; however, it's important to avoid using old bottles of this solution that have been in the lab for several years, as impurities can form over time. Solutions used in histological procedures should typically be replaced every 2 years to ensure effectiveness.
