Abstract:A highly efficient and sensitive ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) system with laser desorption sampling was applied for rapid explosive detection using different surface materials. This portable IMS detector, powered by a battery, offers mobility and is suitable for use in the field or combat zones. The laser desorption (LD) sampling of common explosives (Trinitrotoluene—TNT; Dinitrotoluenes—DNTs; Hexogene—RDX; pentaerythritol tetranitrate—PETN; plastic explosives—Compound 4 (C-4) and Semtex) on a wide range of… Show more
