Forensic Explosive Analysis with Precision

Explosions Leave Clues—Can You Detect Them?

After an explosion, even the smallest chemical traces can reveal what happened. Investigators need to determine:

• Was a high explosive used, or was it a gas-fuelled accident?

• What chemical compounds are present?

• Will the results stand up in court?

The challenge? Explosive residues degrade quickly, and some compounds are hard to detect or separate. Without the right tools, key evidence can be lost.

That’s why forensic experts around the world use GC-TEA technology to get clear, reliable answers.

How GC-TEA Delivers Fast, Reliable Results

• Detects ultra-trace levels of nitrogen-based explosives (TNT, RDX, PETN and more)
• Separates closely related compounds, including nitrate esters and nitrobenzene isomers
• Short run times and minimal sample preparation for faster forensic analysis
• High specificity for nitrogen compounds, reducing false positives
• Easily integrates with any GC system, making it adaptable for any lab setup
