Experimental and Theoretical Study on the False Positive of Monomethyltin Determination in Toys Based on Gastric Juice Migration by Lina Huang, Hanke Li, Yuhang Li, Peng Ren, Lezhou Yi, Yang Chen, Tongmei Ma

“…The phenomena of MMT false positive which occurred in the laboratory testing of toys is mainly because that TEMT is highly likely to be obtained from the reaction of inorganic tin and trace level of methylation agent impurities contained in the derivatization reagent—NaB(Et)4. To avoid MMT false positive, it is concluded that the maximum acceptable mole ratio of methylation agent impurities contained in NaB(Et)4 is approximately 0.028%. …”
