Recent news about homeland security has prompted US government agencies, instrument manufacturers, research facilities and monitoring labs to take a more thorough interest in detecting and accurately defining the presence of explosives in a variety of applications.
In keeping with this concern, AccuStandard now synthesises the explosives and their metabolites, raw materials and degradates, thereby offering what it says is the most comprehensive line of synthesised explosives in the industry.
The new line includes RDX (Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine), PETN (Pentaerythritoltetranitrate), Tetryl, HNS (Hexanitrostilbene), TNT (Trinitrotoluene), TNT metabolites, the highly reactive and unstable TATP and HMTD, and many others.
Single solutions and custom mixes can be provided in a wide range of concentrations and solvents.
