Idea to collaborate as a partner for…
Fast determination of formaldehyde in wood panels and other related materials.
Advantages of the method developed by SMart Nose Inc.:• Rapid (a few minutes), high throughput (up to 250
samples / day)• Semi-quantitative (quantitative under specific conditions)• Simple, easy-to-use• Low cost: a few Euro / analysis• Sensitivity: ppm range• Can be used for small samples (about 1 g)• Possibility to be used on-line on production devices

Preliminary studies and results..
Screening of wood panels:- static headspace (1g,120°C)- a few minutes per sample- semi-quantitative analysis - detection limit: ppm range
Data treatment:- based on the signal measured on mass channel 30 amu
HCHO concentration increasing
Relative quantity of form aldehyde from 4 wood sam ples (screening)
