Accelerants laboratories may also do the following tests:

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for detailed chemical analysis of accelerant residues Testing
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for identifying organic compounds in accelerant samples Testing
Flash point testing to determine the lowest temperature at which vapors of a volatile material will ignite Testing
Ignition testing to assess how quickly and effectively an accelerant increases the spread of fire Testing
Residue analysis for detecting and identifying trace amounts of accelerants on various materials Testing
