Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 Portable
Real Time Explosives Trace Detection
Quantum Sniffer Technology
The Quantum Sniffer employs a novel technology for the detection of explosives vapors that is more sensitive than existing detection devices. The advanced technique detects the presence of parts per trillion (ppt) of explosives molecules, without physical contact and in real time. The unique patented vortex sample acquisition system collects the sample, ionizes it with the unique QS™ electro-optical ionization scheme, identifies the sample via standard ion mobility technology and, if an explosive is present, will produce a visual and audible alarm. The LCD will display the identity of the explosive present and the audible alarm can be switched off if required. Quantum Sniffer is the only Explosives Trace Detector with true automatic self calibration — no user intervention is required.
QS-H150
The QS-H150 Portable Explosives Trace Detector was developed in conjunction with the U.S. Navy (NCIS and NAVEODTECHDIV) and PSEAG. The device is capable of detecting trace amounts of most commercial and military explosives, including RDX, PETN, HMX, TNT, Black Powder and Ammonium Nitrate at nanogram level concentrations.
The detection is "real time" with immediate cleardown which dramatically improves throughput. The instrument is noncontact and does not use expensive consumables. The QS-H150 uses a proprietary opto/electrical ionization technique rather than a radioactive source for ionization and hence there is no need to deal with complicated NRC regulatory requirements.
