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.
