“…Unfortunately, the detection of HMTD in the vapor phase is not possible . For the detection of TATP, the most common methods are mass spectrometry, ion mobility spectrometry or related technologies, − and multiphoton spectroscopy . Optional complementary methods are chemically modified nanosensor arrays, or portable optical methods based on colorimetric sensor arrays, in this case to detect the hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) produced by decomposition of the TATP. − Alternative indirect detection methods, by detection of H 2 O 2 from TATP, and the oxidative processes linked to them, are frequently used for fluorometric sensing, − as well as detection of acetone from decomposition of TATP. , The direct detection of TATP has also been achieved by fluorescence quenching .…”
