Methods for determination of 2-amino-4-nitrophenol and 4-amino-2-nitrophenol, metabolites of 2,4-dinitrophenol, were developed using differential pulse (DP) voltammetry and HPLC with amperometric and spectrophotometric detection. The applicability of these methods was tested by the determination of the analytes in model samples
