“…Hence, they are classified as schedule 1 substances by the Chemical Weapons Convention. A number of analytical methods have been developed for their identification, including gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, [26][27][28][29] liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, 30,31 chemiluminescence, 32 capillary electrophoresis, 33 ion trap secondary ion, 34 and MALDI mass spectrometry. 35 In this work, the spray deposition MALDI mass spectrometry was used for the rapid screening of hydrolysis products derived from nitrogen mustards in spiked soil samples.…”
