FORMAMIDE-13C Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Isotope labelled Formamide is a compound that is used in biochemistry to prevent RNA samples from degradation due to RNAses. Formamide is also used as a plasticizer to prepare thermoplastic starch (TPS), a special type of starch that can be mixed with other synthetic polymers because of its unique ability to “flow”.
