Homeland Security


NIST is actively supporting the national need for more effective measurement tools to detect terrorist activity. In our laboratory, measurement methods for the detection of nitroaromatic (TNT), nitrate esters (NG, PETN, and EGDN) and nitramine (RDX and HMX) explosives using capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography are under development. Ultimately, we hope to develop a reference material with certified values for these high explosives agents.
