CRM012 Chromogenic Staphylococcus Aureus Agar

Description

Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH2O. It is mainly used in the production of industrial resins but has been found to be used as a preservative, disinfectant and biocide. Because of its toxicity and volatility formaldehyde poses a significant risk to human health. Attogene test uses the property of formaldehyde to react with the Formaldehyde Reaction Powder (FRP) to form a purple-red tetrazine. The formaldehyde concentration is measured by visual comparison of the reaction with the color scale derived from the Color Card.

Where formaldehyde is found

Formaldehyde is found in:

• Resins used in the manufacture of composite wood products (i.e., hardwood plywood, particleboard and medium-density fiberboard)
• Building materials and insulation
• Household products such as glues, permanent press fabrics, paints and coatings, lacquers and finishes, and paper products
• Preservatives used in some medicines, cosmetics and other consumer products such as dishwashing liquids and fabric softeners
• Fertilizers and pesticides

It is a byproduct of combustion and certain other natural processes, and so is also found in:

• Emissions from un-vented, fuel burning appliances, like gas stoves or kerosene space heaters.
• Cigarette smoke.
