TL;DR: An assay was developed that is capable of detecting levels of residual formaldehyde in influenza vaccine samples and has attained detection limits of 0.01 µg/mL residualformaldehyde, which is easily able to detect and quantify formaldehyde at levels used in many current vaccine formulations.
