EXPLONIX 2

is a highly sensitive, portable, multi-functional explosives/radiological compounds detection and analytical system offering optimal power & flexibility for fast, reliable detection and identification of a wide range of explosive and radioactive material traces.

Detection and analytical range

• Explonix detects all ICAO standard and military / industrial explosives down to picogram level, including TATP and other home made explosives and all plastics (PETN / HMX / RDX based explosives) even with no taggant added

Sampling principles

• The revolutionary new Infra Red Continuous Vapour Mode instantaneously detects the presence of all explosive materials, including nonvolatile explosives. This is the first principle, capable to sample and detect high vapour pressure (non-volatile) explosives (HMX, RDX, PETN based) in continuous vapour mode!
• Analytical Particulate Mode facilitates a highly effective sampling method. The new, patented “needle sampler” can collect even from the tiniest crevices or on flat smooth surfaces without any need for gloves and facilitates reliable detection even in heavy rain
• The innovative Cold Vapour Mode utilizes a new type of metal tube sampler and sampling technology that ensures maximum sensitivity with minimal loss of explosive material for subsequent detection. Suitable also for GSR (Gun Shot Residues) detection
• Analytical Particulate Mode provides detailed identification into basic root explosive components (PETN, TNT, NG, NC, HMX, RDX and others), also showing the volume of explosive material being sampled
• All the operational modes feature effective prevention against system saturation, and / or overload. Sampling even extremely high concentration cannot cause false alarm and does not bring any cleaning problem
• Both the measured data together with baggage identification (bar code registered) are automatically stored and optionally wirelessly sent to the airport data logistic system
• Advanced technology enables fast and user friendly in-situ calibration and fast detectability verification, securing proper instrument operation at any time, anywhere, without any special lab equipment
