3. Optimal Detection and Walk-through Ease
Sensitivity/Selectivity
• Patented ITMS technology increases ion population, enabling detection of microscopic traces of explosives
• Simultaneous dual-mode detection of positive and negative ions helps improve detection of peroxide-based explosives
Versatile
• Can detect a wide range of targeted substances
• Semi-permeable membrane excludes dust and dirt and allows continued operation in environments that have high traffic,
humidity or contamination
• Identifies multiple explosive substances from a single sample
• Expandable libraries to accommodate unique user requirements
• Coded displays conceal substance libraries
• Improved automated, visual/audio prompts with gated operations help control and maintain traffic flow
at desired throughput
• Self-contained, low-noise air system eliminates the need for separate, large air compressor required by other systems
Potentially Cost Effective
• Patented regenerative dryer can eliminate the need for monthly dryer replacement, help to reduce maintenance downtime,
and can lower consumables cost
• Hinged top cabinet bezels can improve maintenance access and safety
• Small footprint, unit size, weight and power requirements can reduce installation and operating costs
Reliable
• Rapid, automated calibration assures operational accuracy
• Maintains a low, stable, humidity level in the detector enabling consistent and reliable detection results
• Automatically saves test results, preventing intentional or unintentional modification or deletions
Ease of Use
• Touchscreen menus with clear graphical user interface are easy to learn and operate
• Built-in printer for fast hardcopy results or printing at a later date for use as evidence or record keeping
• Quick analysis and results in as little as 13 seconds
• Software upgrades can be easy to install
• Local language options available
U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Approved
• EntryScan has successfully completed the TSA trace explosive detection laboratories acceptance testing
• Successfully deployed in airports, prisons and other high-risk facilities
