You may find the attached useful.  Rob sent me some of their test strips some time ago and they work like a charm.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Test for formalin


Is there a quick test to determine if a fluid is formalin vs. ethanol other than the "sniff" test? Are the QUANTOFIX® Formaldehyde strips, which test for formalin up to 200 ppm, useful for determining solutions of 5-10%  formalin?
