A data analysis routine to protect confidential information during GC-MS analysis
The Chemical Weapons Convention allows for the collection and analysis of samples at inspection sites, including demilitarization facilities, to verify compliance with treaty obligations. The Preparatory Commission to the OPCW, through its Expert Group on Inspection Procedures, PC-VIII/B/WP.2, has determined that the Technical Secretariat must have analytical equipment that among other things, allows {open_quotes}identification and recording of the detection of chemicals relevant to the purpose of the inspection, but the suppression of the indication and recording of the detection of chemicals and other information unrelated to the purpose of the inspection.{close_quotes} This paper describes unfinished work at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to satisfy this requirement for GC-MS instrumentation.
