Sci Justice. 1996 Jan-Mar;36(1):41-5. doi: 10.1016/S1355-0306(96)72553-4.

Abstract

Extraction procedures and analytical methods are described for the quantitation of methomyl, a carbamate insecticide, in autopsy tissue and fluid samples. The analytical results from case work demonstrate the rapid metabolism of methomyl in the body.
