A Sensitive and Rapid Method for Detecting Formaldehyde in Brain Tissues by Xiangpei Yue, Yaoyue Zhang, Wen Xing, Yutong Chen, Chenyang Mu, Zhan Miao, Peichun Ge, Tingting Li, Rongqiao He, Zhiqian Tong

“…Here, we established a highly sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method, which is based on a reaction in which FA reacts with colorless reagent 4-amino-3-penten-2-one (Fluoral-P) to produce a yellow compound, 3,5-diacetyl-1,4-dihydrolutidine (DDL), which can be detected by a spectrophotometer at 420 nm at room temperature. The sensitive response time point was found to be at the first hour, and the optimal pH of derivative reaction was pH 6.0. …”
