Presentation

The microF: A Compact, Innovative, and Automated Analyzer for Real-Time Continuous Formaldehyde (CH2O) Monitoring

The microF is specifically designed to measure formaldehyde in various environments using a technology based on the Hantzsch microfluidic reaction. This reaction involves:

Formaldehyde reacting with ammonium compounds (or ammonia derivatives) and a β-diketone (commonly acetylacetone).
Producing a fluorescent compound that enables precise measurement of formaldehyde concentration.

This automatic, compact, and portable analyzer utilizes fluorescence spectrometry to deliver high sensitivity and precision while remaining user-friendly.

Main Applications

The microF is ideal for:

Verifying occupational exposure in public buildings.
Industrial hygiene measurements.
Chamber testing studies and material emission quantification.
Building management and continuous ambient air monitoring.
Medical research studies.

Developed from French Academic Research

Innovation created by CNRS and the University of Strasbourg.
Patented microfluidic device.
Supported by the European Union and various innovation programs.

The microF combines innovation, precision, and ease of use to meet the demands of the most challenging environments.
