New Test Method for Identification of Compounds Related to Organic Gunshot Residue (OGSR) by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
1. Scope
This standard covers the qualitative analysis of extracts using electron impact ionization-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-(EI)MS) to identify compounds related to organic gunshot residue (OGSR).
Gunshot residue (GSR) examination is typically performed to determine if an individual or object was exposed to firearm discharge. GSR analysis has historically relied upon the detection of IGSR, as described in Practice E1588, which originates primarily from the ammunition primer (pGSR). OGSR analysis provides information which complements pGSR analysis.
