Abstract: | Gas chromatographic analysis with electron capture detection is very sensitive to post-blast residues and useful for the determination of organic explosive molecules. But many compounds extracted from the matrices may interfere with the explosives. Using SPME, most interfering compounds are eliminated so the identification is easier. Another advantage of the technique is a low limit of detection. In this study, four different SPME fibers were tested to analyze the most common encountered organic explosives including nitro aromatics, nitramines and nitro-esters. Different parameters were tested (desorption time, agitation, ...) and a special device has been created to optimize the agitation. Direct desorption effect of the SPME fiber on the column compared to normal split-splitless injection is shown. In this way, the degradation of the most sensitive molecules is decreased. An application to a real case is also described in this paper. |
