Claim:
A chemical detection training method, comprising: (a) absorbing a chemical agent simulant on chemical detection paper, said simulant selected from the group consisting of, benzene, xylene, glycol brake fluid, N—N diethyl m-toluamide, ammonia-containing glass cleaner, and fumed silica; and said detection paper selected from the group consisting of M8 and M9 chemical detection paper, and said paper producing a specific color change in response to said simulants; (b) disposing said chemical detection paper having a chemical agent simulant absorbed thereon in a sample heater assembly; (c) positioning said sample heater assembly over a detection window of an M256 TRAINS detector having a plurality of detection windows, by matching the color of the chemical detection paper resulting from the color change to a color code on the detector corresponding to the detection window; and (d) breaking one or more ampoules of the M256 TRAINS detector.
