Methods are provided for reducing the number of aldehyde adducts and/or crosslinks from fixed biomolecules. In some cases, subject methods include contacting a sample having aldehyde fixed biomolecules (e.g., a biological sample such as a formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sample) with an adduct reversal agent in an amount and for a period of time sufficient to reduce the number of aldehyde fixation related adducts and/or crosslinks in the sample. In some cases, the adduct reversal agent is a compound that includes an aromatic ring and at least one of: an amine group and a proton-donating group. In some cases, the adduct reversal agent is a compound selected from the compounds of Table 1. Compositions and kits for practicing the subject methods are also provided.
