title: Non-proximate detection of explosives and chemical warfare agent simulants by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
abstract: Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry is used for the selective and sensitive detection of trace amounts of explosives and chemical warfare agent simulants from ambient surfaces at distances of up to 3 meters from the mass spectrometer.
