You might want to look over the
link. I have used this one several times, its an interesting little device that worked but didn’t quite meet TSA’s needs.
This device indeed does detect explosive traces in the air. It detects (according to its manufacturer´s specifications) TNT, RDX, PETN and NG. It does not detect peroxides.
I stated "There is no test strip that can detect peroxides in the air above a liquid flask."
This device is neither a test strip nor detects peroxides. My case still stands.

Yes facts: again, not a strip that is waved above a solution. Again, does not detect peroxides (RDX, PETN, TNT, Semtex, TATP, NG, Ammonium Nitrate, Hydrogen Cyanide, Phosgene, SO2, NH3 are listed as detected, as well as some narcotics).
My case still stands.

I detect peroxides for a living. I have done my research (in actual scientific publications, not company websites, by the way), and your links just provide further evidence that "There is no test strip that can detect peroxides in the air above a liquid flask."
