The Advanced Portable Explosive Detector is the worlds first and most recognised portable explosives trace detector that uses Luminol Chemiluminescence (Chemilumina) and is the only portable device
capable of detecting the presence of all threat explosives, including ICAO taggants, military plastics and TATP (as used on the London bombings). It also does not use any external carrier gas or
radioactive source (unlike others).The detector offers portability, quick detection and clear and accurate results with very high selectivity for explosives and immunity to humidity or
contamination problems. The Advanced Portable Explosive Detector detects traces of particulates and vapors, allowing for noninvasive searches of luggage, mail, vehicles, documents and
containers.Operation:The Advanced Portable Explosive Detector is flexible and easy to operate, offering 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. This
dual capability enables users to select the most suitable method of sampling for the explosives of interest. The Advanced Portable Explosive Detector processing samples immediately and gives
results in just seconds. All results are indicated on the LCD graphical and numerical display.
