Abstract:Dried urine spot (DUS) is a micro-sample collection technique, known for its advantages in handling, storage and shipping. It also uses only a small volume of urine, an essential consideration in working with small animals, or in acute medical situations. Alkyl-phosphonic acids are the direct and indicative metabolites of organophosphorus chemical warfare agents (OP-CWAs) and are present in blood and urine shortly after exposure. They are therefore crucially important for monitoring casualties in war and terro… Show more
