Description

The Scintrex EVD® 3000 is the world’s first and most recognized portable explosives trace detector with comprehensive explosives detection capabilities.

Overview

The EVD® 3000 is flexible and easy to operate, offering both vapor and particulate sampling without the use of a radioactive source or external carrier gas. Its dual-mode capability enables users to select the most suitable method of sampling for the explosives of interest. All results are indicated on the LCD and by a volume-adjustable audio alarm, making detection a simple one-step process.The EVD® 3000 detects traces of particulates and vapors, allowing for non-invasive searches of luggage, mail, clothing, electronic articles, 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.
