Chromotropic acid and acerylacetone methods for qualitative determination of formaldehyde were tested in parallel on 4N commercial samples, with high‐performance liquid chromotography (HPLC) implemented for quantitave measuce. In addition, interference with the detection of formaldehyde was investigated by analyzing 12 other aldehydes and ketories, 7 essential oils and 3 polysorbstes. Throughout this comparative‐study. the disadvantages of the chromotropic acid method., of with 2 variants were used, were delineated and we found that the acetylacetone test proved to be a more efficient screening method for formaldehyde detection in a clinical laboratory.
