With billions of US dollars in drug and asset seizures being made with the assistance of an IONSCAN, and thousands being used at major international airports, by the military and law enforcement agencies, the IONSCAN 400B is the world’s most popular desktop explosives or narcotics trace detector.

A simple wipe with a swab over items such as checked or carry-on luggage, portable electronic devices, and packages is all that is necessary to collect a sample which is then placed into the IONSCAN for analysis. In 8 seconds the color-coded display presents results to the operator — red for a detection and green for the “all-clear”. If a contraband substance is detected, the specific name is identified on the display.  A detection of trace explosives indicates that an explosives device may be present or that the person may have been handling explosive material in preparing a bomb and further investigation is necessary.

Leading aviation organizations, including the FAA/TSA in the United States, Transport Canada, and the BAA in the United Kingdom, have evaluated and approved the IONSCAN for their aviation security needs.

Sample Collection
Proper sample collection is key to the success of any trace detector.  The swab sampler provided with every IONSCAN is the most effective sample collector available.  The design allows sufficient force to be applied in sample collection without tiring the operator.

The long arm of the swab sampler allows the sample to be collected without risk of hand injury to the operator from hidden sharp objects.
