Problem and Solution

Problem

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

3x

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.
