[The determination of phoxim in cadaveric material by gas-liquid chromatography]

The developed gas-liquid chromatographic procedure for forensic chemical detection and measurement of phoxim in cadaveric material permits the detection in 25 g of an organ of 44 to 52% of added phoxim. The threshold of phoxim measurement in 100 g of the liver is 0.04 mg, the least volume of phoxim detectable being 0.02 g. The developed gas-liquid chromatographic technique should be used as an additional method together with thin-layer chromatography, for a more objective evaluation of the results of forensic chemical analysis of cadaveric material for phoxim.
