The identification and confirmation of trace explosive residues along with potential precursors and degradation products require a comprehensive laboratory analysis procedure. This study presents the determination of organic explosives consisting of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4,6,N-tetranitro-N-methylaniline (Tetryl), 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (1,3,5-TNB) and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) by a high-resolution liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF/MS)...
