Product Name

E5000® Trace Detector

E-5000

Description

The Scintrex E5000® delivers exceptionally sensitive trace detection of both narcotics and explosives.

Overview

The E5000® detects and identifies explosives and narcotics within a multi-compound sample more accurately than single technology systems. The unique, patented GC/IMS (gas chromatography/ion mobility spectrometry) dual technology process allows for non-invasive searches of luggage, mail, vehicles, documents and containers.

Method of Operation

Both vapor and particulate sampling without the use of an external carrier gas or radioactive source. Vapors are sampled directly via the sampling nozzle. Particulates are sampled by swiping a suspected object with a cotton glove or other means and transferring any traces to the unit.

Features

Selectivity: GC/IMS dual technology platform detects and identifies traces of specific explosives or narcotics within a multi-compound sample more accurately than single technology systems.

Sensitivity: Superior design and intelligent analytical software yield exceptional trace detection performance.

Low false alarm levels: GC/IMS dual technology ensures the lowest false alarm levels. Increased user confidence that alarms are real and actionable.

Explosives detection: PETN, RDX,TNT, NG, Dynamite, Semtex, C4

Narcotics detection: Cocaine, opiates, cannabis, and amphetamine-type stimulants.

Operation: Easy to operate. Use the sampling tab to survey the target surface for traces of explosives. The system processes and analyzes the samples immediately and displays the results on its touch screen, making detection an easy process that takes just seconds.

Integration: Sophisticated operating system has built-in networking and communication capability. The device can easily interface with other screening systems to create a comprehensive security solution.

Ease of use: Simple one-step operating process makes it easy to use with minimal training – perfect for high turnover areas.

High throughput: Offers continuous action and complete analysis within seconds – ideal for high volume environments, such as airports and border crossings.

Low maintenance: Completely self-contained, self-cleaning, self-calibrating, and requires no external gas supply.

Low Operation Costs: Extremely cost effective, has low cost of daily operations and very low cost of consumables.

Convenient footprint: Fits into small area checkpoints.

Licensing not required: Negligible radiation levels.
