A formaldehyde deep field (FDF) can provide a blind, mass-limited survey of molecular gas across the history of star formation and galaxy evolution. We present a fiducial FDF that would span redshifts z = 0—7 and use formaldehyde line ratios to measure the molecular hydrogen number density for z > 0.45.
