In recent years, liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become a widely used analytical method for various homeland security applications. LC-MS provides the ability to detect trace levels of illicit materials in crime scenes and geographical warzones, which is critical to prevent the spread of criminal activities, terrorism and smuggling.
As the use of dangerous substances increases worldwide, the security agencies charged with responding to these new and emerging threats need the support of robust and reliable analytical instrumentation for this task. Whether dealing with unknown powders or liquids, explosive materials or other prohibited substances, forensic laboratories require comprehensive testing capabilities to detect and identify trace amounts of these materials reliably and with confidence.
