Secondary ionization of chemical warfare agent simulants: atmospheric pressure ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

For the first time, the use of a traditional ionization source for ion mobility spectrometry (radioactive nickel ((63)Ni) beta emission ionization) and three alternative ionization sources (electrospray ionization (ESI), secondary electrospray ionization (SESI), and electrical discharge (corona) ionization (CI)) were employed with an atmospheric pressure ion mobility orthogonal reflector time-o...

Surface detection of chemical warfare agent simulants and degradation products

Chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulants as well as their degradation and hydrolysis products were detected from surfaces using thermal desorption ion mobility spectrometry (TD-IMS). CWA simulant materials that closely mimic the chemical structures of real CWA G/V-type nerve and S-type vesicant simulants were used in this study. Reduced mobility constants (K0) in air were reported for 20 compound...

Detecting Trace Explosives and Formulations Using Laser Electrospray Mass Spectrometry

Mass analysis using laser electrospray mass spectrometry (LEMS) is demonstrated for the detection of trace samples of explosives at atmospheric pressure directly from a substrate. A non-resonant femtosecond duration laser pulse vaporizes native samples at atmospheric pressure for subsequent electrospray ionization and transfer into a mass spectrometer. LEMS was used to detect < 1 µg of 2,3-dime...

Latent fingerprint chemical imaging by mass spectrometry.

Latent fingerprints (LFPs) potentially contain more forensic information than the simple identification of the subject; they may contain evidence of contacts with explosives or substances of abuse. Chemical information can also be useful in resolving overlapping LFPs from different individuals. We used desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in an imaging mode to record compound-sp...

Specific determination of 20 primary aromatic amines in aqueous food simulants by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry.

A multi-analyte method without any pre-treatment steps using reversed-phase liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) was developed and applied for the determination of 20 primary aromatic amines (PAA) associated with polyurethane (PUR) products or azo-colours. The method was validated in-house for water and 3% acetic acid food simulants using spiked ...
