Analysis of Explosives Using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC®) with UV and/or Mass Spectrometry Detection

Explosives analysis has gained a great deal of attention due to various needs for both environmental monitoring as well as in the world of forensics. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one analytical technique of choice used for this analysis. In this article we investigate the use of...

Description
Summary:Explosives analysis has gained a great deal of attention due to various needs for both environmental monitoring as well as in the world of forensics. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one analytical technique of choice used for this analysis. In this article we investigate the use of newer technologies in detection (mass spectrometry) and smaller column packing (sub 2 μm particles) to improve the selectivity, speed, and resolution of the analysis. Several examples showing the versatility of this technology will be shown.
