METHOD ABSTRACTS325 / ANALYSIS OF FORMALDEHYDESIMPLE AND SENSITIVE METHOD FOR ANALYZING FREE FORMALDEHYDEFormaldehyde is used for disinfections of industrially manufactured products. However, it is detrimental <strong>to</strong> health and itspotential oncogenicity led <strong>to</strong> the current utilization of a formaldehyde donor for long-term preservation. Such donors are inhydrolytic equilibrium with formaldehyde producing free formaldehyde on exposure <strong>to</strong> moisture.This method is used <strong>to</strong> quantify the free formaldehyde without upsetting the existing equilibrium. Potential interferencesare either separated from formaldehyde or they don’t react with the post-column reagent. The lutidine derivative is highlyuorescent resulting in ppm detection levels.METHODAnalytical ConditionsColumn: Diol, 5 µm, 4.6 x 250 mmTemperature: 40 CFlow Rate: 0.5 mL/minMobil Phase: Ace<strong>to</strong>nitrile: Water (85:15) isocraticPost-column ConditionsPost-column System: Pinnacle PCXReac<strong>to</strong>r Volume: 0.5 mLTemperature: 100 CReagent:0.81 M Ammonimn acetate0.12 M Galcial acetic acid (pH=5)0.05 M 2, 4-Pentanedione with waterFlow Rate: 0.4 mL/minDetection: Fluorometer ex: 412 nm, em: 510 nm4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 12.0 14.0 16.0
