Problems in Aerial Application: Direction of Mild Poisoning by Organophosphorus Pesticides Using an Automated Method for Cholinesterase Activity

摘要

An automated method, capable of measuring cholinesterase activity in blood and tissue samples, was modified to provide increased reliability. The technique was evaluated as a means of detecting and measuring the inhibition of enzyme by organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides. As many as 200 specimens a day may be analyzed by the improved method, which provides precise estimates of cholinesterase activity in normal and poisoned samples. (Author)
