Formamide destabilizes nucleic acid duplexes and may be used, typically, at a concentration of 50%, in hybridization protocols requiring lower hybridization temperatures.

The addition of formamide may enhance the specificity and efficiency of amplification of PCR (polymerase chain reaction). It may be used as an ammonia equivalent for the palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of 1-bromo-3-trifluoromethylbenzene to form 3-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide.
