Next Generation Trace Explosives Detector

Multi‑modal sensing core — combines advanced ion‑mobility spectrometry (IMS), differential mobility, mass‑spec shortcuts (miniaturized MS/TOF elements) and laser‑induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)/Raman fusion to detect a wider class of energetic compounds and plasticized/peroxide formulations.

Ultra‑low detection limits & fast response — sub‑ppt/ppb sensitivity with results in seconds, plus adaptive algorithms that boost signal for trace residues while keeping scan time short for high‑throughput checkpoints.

False‑positive suppression & ML classification — machine‑learning models trained on extensive benign/interferent libraries to reduce nuisance alarms (e.g., perfumes, lotions, common cleaners) and provide confidence scores and likely compound IDs.

Flexible sampling & deployment modes — supports wipe/swab, direct vapor sniffing, air‑draw sampling and portal/portal‑throughput modes; available as handheld, checkpoint‑desk, and fixed portal units for customs, aviation, critical infrastructure, and EOD teams.

Operational usability & systems integration — ruggedized, low‑SWaP designs with touchscreen GUIs, role‑based access, secure logging/chain‑of‑custody exports, and APIs for VMS/C2 or laboratory LIMS integration; battery and mains options for field and fixed use.

Safety, certification & lifecycle support — engineered to meet relevant safety and transport rules, with vendor calibration services, consumable management, software‑update pathways for new threat signatures, and operator training packages to ensure reliable field performance.
