Abstract:We developed and validated an ion chromatography method to assay iodide in serum sampled from rats and rabbits that had been exposed to iodomethane. Iodomethane is of interest because it is a volatile liquid pre-plant soil crop protection fumigant that has been proposed as a non-ozone-depleting alternative to methyl bromide. Serum was prepared from whole blood collected on wet ice at the time of sacrifice and kept frozen at less than -65 degrees C. For analysis, serum samples were thawed unassisted at ambient … Show more
