This device uses chemiluminescent to detect homemade, military, and commercial explosives.
Description:
The E3500 explosives trace detector uses chemiluminescence to detect homemade, military and commercial explosives, including ICAO taggants, plastics, ammonium nitrate, black powder, other nitrates and TATP. Built to withstand rough handling and tough environments, the E3500 packs potent detection capability into a lightweight, durable thermoplastic housing. The handheld E3500 analyzes both particulate and vapor samples in seconds, without the need for radioactive isotopes or carrier gasses.
Product Features:
- Resists contamination from weather, terrain, humidity, dirt and dust
- Identifies both particulates and vapors in seconds
- No radioactive isotopes or carrier gasses needed
