Formic Acid Analysis Service

Formic acid is also known as methanoic acid. It is the simplest carboxylic acid. The chemical formula of formic acid is HCOOH or HCO2H. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and most notably in some ants. The word "formic" means ant in the Latin word. It is isolation by the distillation of ant bodies for the first time. Anions, salts and esters derived from formic acid are called formates. Formic acid has a highly pungent and penetrating odor at room temperature. It is a colorless liquid and is miscible with most polar organic solvents and water. Formic acid is also soluble in hydrocarbons. It can be found in the trichomes of stinging nettle and the trichomes of stinging nettle naturally. Formic acid can be occurred naturall in the atmosphere due to the forest emissions primarily.

Formic acid Analysis Service

Scientists at Creative Proteomics utilize a highly quantitative method with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of Formic acid levels in various samples, including Tissue, Plant, Bacterials, Cells and more. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using a differential refractive index detector (RID) for the determination of Formic acid levels in a lot of biological samples.

Formic acid can be used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed and the using is the major use of formic acid. Formic acid is also can be used to suppress the formation of butyric acid and to promote the fermentation of lactic acid on silage in Europe. Formic acid can cause the fermentation to occur quickly even at lower temperature as a result to reduce the loss of nutritional value. Formic acid can slow the decay processes can make the feed to keep its nutritive value longer. As a result, Formic acid is widely used to preserve winter feed for cattle. Formic acid is also can be added to feed to E. coli bacteria in the poultry industry. Formic acid is also used widely in the production of leather, for example, the tanning consumpte about 23% of the global consumption in 2009. Mineral acids can be replaced by formic acid for various cleaning products, for example oilet bowl cleaner and limescale remover.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Research Scientist
