Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is used in the ATF Forensic Science Laboratories for the analysis of inorganic ions commonly encountered in post-blast residues including monomethylamine (MMA) and benzoate ions. Monomethylamine nitrate is found in Tovex, a water gel explosive. Sodium benzoate is added to Pyrodex, as a fuel and burn rate modifier. In the analysis of explosive residues, these ions are used as an indicator for the presence of Tovex and Pyrodex. Traditionally, these two ions, along with other ions of interest were analyzed by spot tests and ion chromatograph (IC). CE is currently being used in place of spot tests as a confirmation technique for IC.
毛细管电泳(CE)用于美国烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局法医科学实验室,分析爆炸后残留物中常见的无机离子,包括一甲胺(MMA)和苯甲酸根离子。硝酸一甲胺存在于水凝胶炸药Tovex中。苯甲酸钠作为燃料和燃烧速率调节剂添加到Pyrodex中。在爆炸物残留物分析中,这些离子用作Tovex和Pyrodex存在的指示剂。传统上,这两种离子以及其他感兴趣的离子通过点滴试验和离子色谱仪(IC)进行分析。目前,CE正被用作IC的确认技术,取代点滴试验。
