STATISTICAL EVALUATION
A single operator repetitively tested samples of two laboratory prepared
solutions, using one DR/700, matched sample cells and two
representative lots of reagent. Testing 200 µg/L concentration solutions,
the standard deviation was ±2.4 µg/L CH
Testing zero concentration samples, the limit of detection was 2.9 µg/L
CH
O. The limit of detection was calculated as three times the standard
2
deviation when testing zero concentration samples (adapted from
Analytical Chemistry, 1980, 52, 2242-2249).
SUMMARY OF METHOD
Formaldehyde reacts with MBTH (3-methyl-2-benzothiazoline
hydrazone) and a developing solution to form a blue color in proportion
to the formaldehyde concentration.
