Solve Formaldehyde Quantitation Challenges with MRR
Challenge
Formaldehyde is tightly regulated—but measuring it isn’t easy. Traditional GC methods often require derivatization, which adds time, complexity, and potential for error. Viscous or aqueous samples make the process even more challenging, increasing the burden on QC labs
Solution
BrightSpec’s isoMRR platform uses gas-phase MRR spectroscopy to quantify formaldehyde directly—without derivatization, separation, or sample prep. It delivers fast, accurate results across complex matrices, streamlining workflows and simplifying routine analysis.
Faster Analysis Workflows
MRR Analysis Speed
Traditional GC methods
The simplified workflow results in a dramatic reduction in time achieved using headspace-MRR compared to traditional GC workflows. MRR can save you 40 to 70 minutes per sample.
