India Powdered Paraformaldehyde and Powdered Resins Market Drivers
Increasing usage of powdered paraformaldehyde in the formulation of fixatives
Fixatives are used to protect cell or tissue specimens. The most popular type of cross-linking fixative is formaldehyde-based fixative, which works by covalently coupling molecules to each other and forming a stable meshwork within tissues. Neutral buffered formalin and freshly prepared paraformaldehyde are two not identical formaldehyde fixatives that are used for the formulation of fixatives. Since most commercial Neutral buffered (NB) formalin solutions use methanol as an additive to prevent formaldehyde polymerization over time, “paraformaldehyde” (PFA) is preferred for certain protocols. Paraformaldehyde (PFA) is now considered as the fixative of choice for: cardiac perfusions, in situ hybridizations, short fixation for cryo-embedded tissues where antigen retrieval needs to be avoided, and TEM, as an alternative to glutaraldehyde. Therefore, owing to the alluring properties, the usage for powdered paraformaldehyde in the formulation of paraformaldehyde fixatives is rising, thus, this is projected to fuel the market for India powdered paraformaldehyde and powdered resins during the forecast period.
