Standardized Method for Measuring Collection Efficiency from Wipe-sampling of Trace Explosives
One of the limiting steps to detecting traces of explosives at screening venues is effective collection of the sample. Wipe-sampling is the most common procedure for collecting traces of explosives, and standardized measurements of collection efficiency are needed to evaluate and optimize sampling protocols. The approach described here is designed to provide this measurement infrastructure, and...
متن کاملSampling and Preconcentration for Trace Explosives Detection
A trace explosives detection system typically contains three subsystems: sample collection, preconcentration, and detection. Sample collection of trace explosives (vapor and particulate) through large volumes of airflow helps reduce sampling time while increasing the amount of dilute sample collected. Preconcentration of the collected sample before introduction into the detector improves the se...
متن کاملValidation of a standardized portable fluorescence method for determining trace beryllium in workplace air and wipe samples.
Beryllium is widely used in industry for its unique properties; however, occupational exposure to beryllium particles can cause potentially fatal disease. Consequently, exposure limits for beryllium particles in air and action levels on surfaces have been established to reduce exposure risks for workers. Field-portable monitoring methods for beryllium are desired in order to facilitate on-site ...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Remotely Detecting Trace Explosives
Events in recent years have led to an increased need for improvements in our abilities to detect explosives. In numerous situations, the capability to detect explosives sensitively, accurately, and rapidly could have great benefit to national security both at home and abroad. Some of the homeland situations that would benefit from improvements in explosives detection include screening passenger...
متن کاملNational validation study of a cellulose sponge wipe-processing method for use after sampling Bacillus anthracis spores from surfaces.
This work was initiated to address the gaps identified by Congress regarding validated biothreat environmental sampling and processing methods. Nine Laboratory Response Network-affiliated laboratories participated in a validation study of a cellulose sponge wipe-processing protocol for the recovery, detection, and quantification of viable Bacillus anthracis Sterne spores from steel surfaces. St...
