Mytech chemicals Formamide

Mytech chemicals Formamide is an organic solvent, which allows for the denaturation and renaturation of nucleic acids at room temperature. This is particularly useful for protocols where reaction times are long and high temperatures would damage biological activity through chain scissions and depurination etc. Formamide reduces thermal stability of double stranded nucleic acids and is generally used for DNA renaturation or DNA-RNA hybridization. Specificity and rate of reaction are determined by formamide concentration and temperature of the reaction.
