This finding wasn't in a human body, it was in a package. Why would equipment for detecting Sarin in packages be testing for a metabolite?

- whymauri 7y agoCommon processes for making sarin have diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP) as a by-product, which is not very deadly[0]. You can buy it on Fisher Scientific for 30$. Not sure if biochem screens are matching for this compound, but it's still in the vein of what the parent comment was suggesting.
