TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - The analysis of ethyleneglycolmononitrate and monomethylamine nitrate from commercial blasting agents in post blast samples JO - Journal (Canadian Society of Forensic Science) A1 - Prime, R. J. A1 - Krebs, J. SP - 35 EP - 40 VL - 17 IS - 2 N2 - The commercial blasting agents, Powermex® (C.I.L.) and Tovex® (DuPont) have been encountered in a number of seized, disrupted or hoax explosive devices and have been suspected in a number of bombing incidents. Work has been done to develop a procedure to detect the sensitizers ethyleneglycolmononitrate (EGMN) from Powermex® and monomethylamine nitrate (MMAN) from Tovex® using high performance liquid chromatography. Analysis of samples of debris recovered from test blasts has been successful after using an appropriate pre-concentration technique. One case example is illustrated.
