Abstract:
A study was conducted to assess the applicability of double-sided adhesive coated stubs for sampling traces of TNT, RDX and PETN from suspects' hands. The double stage extraction method developed in the previous study for recovery of NG and 2,4 DNT in gunpowder residues sampled by double-sided adhesive coated stubs, was found to be applicable also for TNT, RDX and PETN. These explosives were analyzed using GC/TEA and IMS.
