HemogloBind™ Cited in Pesticide Toxicology Study of Post-Mortem Changes in Blood

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, January 23, 2021-- Biotech Support Group reports on a journal article

describing the simplicityand efficiency of their HemogloBind™ sample preparation technology for

theanalysis of the pesticide methomyl, and its Hemoglobin derivatives. The citation is:

Yamagishi, Yoshikazu, Hirotaro Iwase, and Yasumitsu Ogra. "Post-Mortem Changes of Methomyl in Blood with Hemoglobin." Chemical Research in Toxicology.

Methomyl is a widely used pesticide that hasbeen detected in many fatal cases of accidental

exposure or suicide. Forensictoxicologists have been baffled that the blood methomyl

concentration inpersons who have died of methomyl poisoning is much lower than the expected

concentration in blood. In this study, the researchers considered specificmethomyl hemoglobin

adducts detected by liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flightmass spectrometry (LC-

Q/TOF-MS). To help isolate Hemoglobin, the article states“Hb was separated with HemogloBind in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.” Theauthors conclude that one Hemoglobin

derivative, the W-adduct could be used asa biomarker of methomyl poisoning.

“I am very pleased that our users have foundstill another application for HemogloBind™,this time

in the isolation of Hemoglobin for more in-depth analysis. Its simpleprotocol and compatibility with

liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flightmass spectrometry (LC-Q/TOF-MS) makes this

possible.” states Swapan Roy, Ph.D., President and Founder of Biotech Support Group.
