摘要
This article reports on an integrated explosive-preconcentration/electrochemical detection system for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) vapor. The challenges involved in such system integration are discussed. A hydrogel-coated screen-printed electrode is used for the detection of the thermally desorbed TNT from a preconcentration device using rapid square wave voltammetry. Optimization of the preconcentration system for desorption of TNT and subsequent electrochemical detection was conducted yielding a desorption temperature of 120 degrees C under a flow rate of 500 mL min(-1). Such conditions resulted in a characteristic electrochemical signal for TNT representing the multi-step reduction process. Quantitative measurement produced a linear signal dependence on TNT quantity exposed to the preconcentrator from 0.25 to 10 mu g. Finally, the integrated device was Successfully demonstrated using a sample of solid TNT located upstream of the preconcentrator. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
