Overview
The Portable Trace Detector is the smallest, lightest tri-mode hand-held system available for detecting trace amounts of explosives; chemical-warfare agents; and toxic industrial chemicals and narcotics. With the ability to detect a wide range of threats, it is a cost-effective instrument for security professionals and military agencies that require portability and flexibility to perform their duties. The Portable Trace Detector is programmed to detect and identify over 40 threat substances in approximately 20 seconds. Threats such as common peroxide-based, volatile and unstable chemicals are often used to construct improvised explosive devices (IED) and ammonium nitrate, commonly used in homemade explosives.
