Table 8 Applications of various chemical warfare agents along with the type of mass analyzer used for their analysis
Application | Mass analyzer | Ionization mode in DART source |
|---|---|---|
Detection of nanogram level of VX from various surfaces (Laramee and Dupont Durst 2008) | AccuTOF (JEOL, Peabody, USA) | Both positive and negative ionization mode |
Detection of chemical warfare agent (Agent VX) from a porous concrete surface (Nilles and Connell 2009) | AccuTOF (JEOL, Peabody, USA) | Both positive and negative ionization mode |
Use of DART interfaced to Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry to study DMMP and a related compound (Rummel and Steill 2011) | 6210 TOF-MS (Agilent Technologies, USA) | Both positive and negative ionization mode |
Detection of DMMP and other organophosphates using Drift-Tube Ion Mobility Spectrometry (DTIMS) coupled with DART-MS (Harris and Kwasnik 2011) | DART-SVP™ Ion Source (IonSense, USA) | Positive ionization mode |
Dependence of temperature and spatial arrangement on the ion abundance in DMMP using DART-MS (Harris and Falcone 2012) | DART-SVP™100 Ion Source (IonSense, USA) coupled to Q-TOF-MS (Bruker, Germany). | Positive ionization mode |
