Highly sensitive peroxide based explosives can be dissolved in ionic liquids for a safe handling. These solutions are easy to use and may be applied as powerful odor sources for analytical testing and training purposes. Moreover, the stabilizing effect of the ionic liquids can be exploited for a safe sampling of large quantities of these explosives. Such samples of triacetone triperoxide are long‐term stable, safe, and valid for forensic evaluations.
