General description

Dimethylarsinic acid is a nonselective type of herbicide[1] and a metabolite of inorganic arsenic,[2] which is used to defoliate or desiccate a wide variety of plants.[1]

Application

Dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) may be used as a reference standard for the determination of dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) in fish tissues and urine samples by high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (HPLC/ICP/MS).[3]
Dimethylarsinic acid may be used as a reference standard in the determination of dimethylarsinic acid in urine samples using gas chromatography coupled with ion trap mass spectrometry (GC-MS).[4]
