Trace Detector

This desktop portable is the world's first trace detector able to simultaneously detect both explosives and narcotics.

As terrorists turn to narcotics for financing, the ability to test for both types of substances at once is a key security advantage as well as a major timesaver that reduces lines at checkpoints. Extremely easy to operate, the detector delivers fast, simultaneous explosives and narcotics detection in a lightweight package that is ergonomic, robust and portable.

You can't see it. You can't smell it.
But it's your job to find it and keep it from doing harm.

Whether the hidden contraband you're after is narcotics or explosives, evidence that it may be present in that suitcase or the trunk of that automobile can be of significant benefit to your safety and that of the general public. How do you find something hidden you can't see or smell? The answer is trace detection.

When narcotics or explosives contraband are handled, these substances leave microscopic particles behind on the hands and clothes. The surfaces subsequently touched by someone with traces of contraband on them are highly susceptible to being contaminated with these particles. Steering wheels, door handles, suitcase latches, even pocket change, may all contain microscopic traces of these substances, which if detected, could indicate the presence of contraband. Narcotics and explosives by their nature also give off minute amounts of vapour that contain traces of the substances themselves. When they are packaged for handling or transportation, these vapours may be trapped in the packaging, and can build up to detectable levels. Contraband such as methamphetamine or TNT hidden in the trunk of a car can be giving off enough vapour containing the contraband substance to be detected from the outside of the car, without opening the trunk!
