Narcotics and Explosion Detection

A narcotics & explosive detection walk-through portal can quickly screen people for contraband without physical contact. These systems detect a wide range of explosives and narcotics with unprecedented sensitivity. It is the ideal complement to X-ray and metal detectors. For higher throughput, visible and audible commands can automatically direct passengers to enter or leave the portal. If traces of explosives or narcotics are detected or a person leaves before being prompted an alarm instantly sounds to facilitate rapid containment.

The system collects microscopic particles for analysis, by taking advantage of a natural upward airflow around the body called the "human convection plume". The technology makes trace detection of the minute amounts of vapors given off and the microscopic particles left behind when narcotics and explosives contraband are packaged and handled. It is fast, accurate and sensitive to billionths of a gram.
