Safe. Non-radioactive assay.Sensitive and accurate. As low as 1.5 uM (45 ppb) formaldehyde can be quantified.Homogeneous and convenient. "Mix-incubate-measure" type assay. No wash and reagent transfer steps are involved.Robust and amenable to HTS: Can be readily automated on HTS liquid handling systems for processing thousands of samples per day.
