Thin-Layer Chromatography and Colorimetric Analysis of Multi-Component Explosive Mixtures
First Claim
1. A thin-layer chromatography method for detection and identification of explosives in samples, comprising the steps of:
- provide a reverse-phase thin-layer chromatography plate, prepare said plate by marking spots on which to deposit the samples;
spot one micro liter of a first standard onto one of said spots, spot one micro liter of a second standard onto another of said spots, and spot samples onto other of said spots producing a spotted plate;
add eluent to a developing chamber;
add said spotted plate to said developing chamber;
remove said spotted plate from said developing chamber producing a developed plate;
place said developed plate in an ultraviolet light box;
add a visualization agent to a dip tank;
dip said developed plate in said dip tank and remove said developed plate; and
detect explosives by viewing said developed plate.

Abstract
A thin-layer chromatography method for detection and identification of common military and peroxide explosives in samples includes the steps of provide a reverse-phase thin-layer chromatography plate; prepare the plate by marking spots on which to deposit the samples by touching the plate with a marker; spot one micro liter of a first standard onto one of the spots, spot one micro liter of a second standard onto another of the spots, and spot samples onto other of spots producing a spotted plate; add eluent to a developing chamber; add the spotted plate to the developing chamber; remove the spotted plate from the developing chamber producing a developed plate; place the developed plate in an ultraviolet light box; add a visualization agent to a dip tank; dip the developed plate in the dip tank and remove the developed plate quickly; and detect explosives by viewing said developed plate.
