Explosive Standards


AccuStandard

Explosive standards are traditionally used for the remediation of soil and water in locations where explosives have been stored. Other applications include forensics, calibrating explosive detectors and in K-9 odor recognition training.

AccuStandard works closely with both government and private sector K-9 training facilities and laboratories to develop reference materials that meet the latest requirements for explosive detection and analysis. Our array of explosives include CRMs for the native explosive compounds as well as metabolites and degradation products. AccuStandard is the only U.S. source for TATP, HMTD, HNS, and 3,3,6,6-Tetramethyl-1,2,4,5-tetraoxane (DADP) standards.

In addition to catalog items, our Technical team is available to custom design explosive CRMs that meet the requirement of your specific application and analysis.

Method 8095 is intended for the determination of different explosive compounds in water and oil using GC/ECD. The list of compounds include Nitroaromatics, Nitramines and Nitrate Esters. Coupled with the extraction procedure of USEPA 8330, this method has a great advantage detecting explosives at low levels due to the high selectivity and sensitivity of the ECD technique.

Gun Surveillance Standards

Gunshot residue analysis standards are normally used to study and identify firearm discharge residues. A firearm cartridge is generally made from Organic and Inorganic compounds which will escape once a firearm is discharged. Analyzing the deposited residual is important for the chemical examination and characterization of the firearm components.
