Analiza mikrośladów trinadtlenku triacetonu (TATP) w fazie gazowej z zastosowaniem TD-GC/MS
Micro-traces analysis of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) in the form of vapours using TD-GC/MS

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the method of detecting triacetone triperoxide (TATP) in the form of vapours and surface traces using gas chromatography with a thermal desorption system of mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS). The technical solutions of analytical equipment make it possible to choose one or two methods for introducing analyte vapour for identification – indirectly from the TENAX TA deposit or directly from the research objects. In addition, the use of the GERSTEL CIS element as a substance concentrator renders identification of even nano-trace amounts of TATP possible. The article presents the experimental procedure of the thermal desorption TD-GC/MS and simultaneously draws attention to physical properties of the substance determining the achievement of satisfactory results.
