Canadian Contributor to the 1991 United Nations Round Robin Analytical Verification Exercise

Abstract : Nine samples, typical of those taken during inspection of a military facility, were received by Defense Research Establishment Suffield as part of a United Nations sponsored international round robin analytical exercise designed to evaluate laboratory capabilities. This report summarizes Canada's contribution to the round robin analytical verification exercise. Canada confirmed the presence of all the spiked CW relevant compounds, including mustard and mustard related compounds following analysis of the provided samples by capillary column GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, GC-FTIR, GC-FID and GC-FPD
