On‐substrate derivatization for detection of highly volatile G‐series chemical warfare agents via paper spray mass spectrometry
Abstract
The analysis of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) from ambient atmosphere presents an analytical challenge due to their ease of degradation and volatility. Herein is described a method for derivatizing CWAs directly onto a paper spray substrate prior to analysis. This derivatization allows for much longer times of analysis without sample degradation and with little to no sample preparation.
