Description

Formaldehyde Dehydrogenase is a highly specific oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of formaldehyde to formic acid. This enzymatic activity is critical for precise analytical detection and quantification of formaldehyde in complex matrices. It is an essential reagent for researchers and quality control laboratories in the environmental monitoring, industrial hygiene, and food safety sectors requiring accurate, interference-free formaldehyde analysis.

Application

• Enzymatic Assay Kits: Core component in commercial diagnostic and research kits for the specific, colorimetric detection of formaldehyde.
• Environmental Monitoring: Used in analytical methods for detecting formaldehyde in air, water, and soil samples, crucial for workplace safety and pollution control.
• Food & Beverage Analysis: Employed in assays to determine formaldehyde levels in food products, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
• Biomedical Research: Tool for studying formaldehyde metabolism, its role as a signaling molecule, and its cytotoxic effects in cellular systems.
• Industrial Process Control: Applied in monitoring formaldehyde concentrations in chemical manufacturing, resin production, and disinfection processes.
• Textile & Material Testing: Used to assess formaldehyde release from treated fabrics, adhesives, and composite materials for consumer safety.

Quality Control

Our Formaldehyde Dehydrogenase is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each lot is characterized for specific activity, purity, and stability to ensure consistent performance in analytical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing activity units, protein content, and functional purity is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
