Abstract During the last years (2000–2014), many publications concerning the forensic
analysis of questioned documents have been published, and new techniques and …

The development and application of ion chromatography (IC) coupled to mass spectrometry
(MS) is discussed herein for the quantitative determination of low-order explosives-related …

Spontaneous oxidation of compounds containing diverse X= Y moieties (eg, sulfonamides,
ketones, esters, sulfones) occurs readily in organic-solvent microdroplets. This surprising …

Over the last decade, direct analysis in real time (DART) has emerged as a viable method
