Because carbamates, especially aldicarb sulfone, are unstable, carbamates analyses usually are HPLC based. The U.S. EPA method for monitoring these compounds in drinking water, Method 531, calls for HPLC with post-column derivatization. 1-Naphthol, a fluorescent metabolite of carbaryl, was added to the analyte list in 2003. Our 531.2 Carbamate Pesticides Calibration Mixture includes 1-naphthol. For stability, we formulate the mix in acetonitrile.
