[Peculiarities of tetramethyltiuram disulfide detection in the biological material].

Optimal conditions for the extraction of tetramethyltiuram disulfide (TMTD) from biological materials with ethylacetate are described. The isolated compound can be separated from co-extracted impurities on a silicagel L (40/100 mcm) column. Identification and quantitative determination of TMTD purified from cadaverous liver were performed using thin-layer chromatography, IR spectrophotometry, and high performance liquid chromatography with UF detection.
