A short, simple method for the determination of paraquat in plasma.
Paraquat was measured in plasma after precipitation of plasma proteins by addition of a solvent/salt mixture. The paraquat remaining in the supernatant is measured by its free radical formation after addition of alkaline sodium dithionite. The time required for a single determination is approximately 20 minutes.
