Formaldehyde (Formalin Solution)

Formaldehyde is used in plant tissue culture and laboratory applications:

• Powerful sterilizing agent: Used for surface sterilization, fumigation, and disinfecting culture rooms, instruments, and handling areas.
  • Prevents microbial contamination: Extremely effective against fungi, bacteria, spores, and other microorganisms.
  • Media & glassware decontamination: Often used in formalin chambers to sterilize glassware, tools, and working surfaces.
  • Tissue fixation: Occasionally used in research laboratories for fixation of plant tissues for microscopy and histological studies.
  • Common in TC facility hygiene: Helps maintain aseptic conditions in commercial micropropagation labs.
