Abstract
Direct analysis in real time (DART) mass spectrometry was used for trace detection of the nitrate ester explosive, erythritol tetranitrate (ETN), and its sugar alcohol precursor, erythritol. The present investigation revealed the impact of competitive ionization between ETN and erythritol for the detection of sugar alcohol-based homemade explosives.Citation
