Formamide (Cat No.:R044589) is the simplest amide, consisting of a formyl group attached to an amino group. It is a colorless, hygroscopic liquid with a faint ammonia-like odor and is miscible with water and many organic solvents. Formamide is widely used as a solvent, plasticizer, and intermediate in organic synthesis. In molecular biology, it is used to denature nucleic acids and in hybridization protocols due to its ability to disrupt hydrogen bonding. It is toxic if ingested or inhaled and should be handled with proper ventilation and protective equipment.
