IONSCAN 500DT
Explosives and narcotics trace detector
Product Information IONSCAN 500DT
The IONSCAN 500DT is a highly sensitive trace detector in a desktop configuration. It can be used to accurately detect and identify a wide range of military, commercial and homemade explosives threats and common illegal/controlled narcotics.
By incorporating two Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) detector modules into a single unit, detection is perfectly optimised and balanced for different sample types.
Analysis results can be stored directly on the detector, or printed out with the built-in printer, or exported via the USB port.
