Trace Explosives Detector

EF1000

EF1000 is a handheld trace explosives detector built on HT-Nova's proprietary fluorescent small-molecule technology, which identifies explosive molecules by the change they produce in a fluorescent material. It detects around forty kinds of explosives, contains no radioactive sources, and returns a result in under ten seconds.

Overview

Product information at a glance

Trace detection is screening work: checking hands, bags, documents, vehicle surfaces and door handles in sequence, where the value of the instrument is how quickly it can be used again on the next subject. EF1000 returns a result in under ten seconds and starts up in under five minutes, so a checkpoint keeps moving.

The fluorescence approach carries a practical advantage beyond sensitivity: with no radioactive elements in the device, transport, storage and licensing are simpler than for instruments that contain a source. The detector is portable and rugged, works across varied environments, and is designed for high sensitivity with low false-alarm rates - important where an alarm means detaining a person.

Alarms can be audible, visual, or wireless and silent, so a screener can be alerted without signalling to the subject. A high-resolution camera records photographic evidence, and 4G, Bluetooth and WiFi allow results to be passed on.
