CHEMetrics offers test kits employing the well-known Purpald® reagent to deliver sensitivity and accuracy within two minutes or less. Based on CHEMetrics patented Self-Filling Reagent Ampoule technology. Premixed. Premeasured. Precise. Each kit contains 30 tests.

The Purpald Method

Purpald® is subject to fewer interferences than Schiff's reagent or chromotropic acid procedures. A purple-coloured complex is formed when Purpald in alkaline solution reacts with formaldehyde. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/l) CH₂O.

Shelf-life of the Purpald Reagent: five months. We recommend stocking quantities that will be used within four months.

Purpald® developed by Aldrich Chemical Co.

Applications

Formaldehyde, a toxic substance, is used in the following applications: metal plating baths, textile treatments, biological specimen preservatives, and disinfectants of medical equipment. Commercial formaldehyde gas is readily soluble in water.
