Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

Quantum SnifferQS-H150 Portable Explosive Trace Detector

For detection of explosive vapors and particulate contamination

Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

Quantum Sniffer (QS) TechnologyQS Ion Mobility SpectrometerQS is a technologically advanced screening device capable of detecting microscopic amounts of explosive materials

• Used in day to day operations to prevent access of bombs or other explosive devices into a secured area

• Also used to respond to threats of unknown origin

• Strong deterrent to terrorist activities

Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

The Quantum Sniffer is used for:• Protection of Government officials• Protection of VIP’s• Vehicle screening• Parking Facilities• Facilities security• Airport screening• Threat response for EOD personnel• Post blast analysis• Deterring terrorists by presenting a more ‘hardened’ target

Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

Patented QS Sample Acquisition

• Vapors and Particles• Cleaner Running• Maintained Sensitivity• Faster Clear Down• Less False Alarms (<1%

typical)• Low Operating Cost

Heated Vortex Sampling

Non-Contact Sample Analysis

Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

Photonic Ionization:

• Contains NO Radioisotopes• Safer• More efficient• No annual leakage testing• No disposal fees• Unregulated airborne use

Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

Real Time Detection

• Simultaneous sample and analysis• Can detect in seconds• Minimizes sample intake• Prevents detector saturation• Less False Alarms• Rapid clear down after an alarm

Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

Automatic and Continuous Self Calibration

• Constant monitoring of Environmental conditions– Atmospheric Pressure (tested to 4500 meters)– Temperature (-10 to 55 degrees Celsius)– Humidity (0-95% non condensing)

• Compensates for variations• No User intervention• Long lasting, low cost calibrant

Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

Easy To Use and Understand

• Simple menu structure• 5 operating controls• Audible and visual alarm indications• LED status indications• Sunlight viewable LCD display panel• Easy Downloading of Alarm and Data Files• Computer diagnostics (BITE)• 8 Hour Battery Operation (H150 portable)

Non-Contact Explosive Trace Detection

Maintenance and Consumables• Basic Maintenance requirements triggered by diagnostic

program– “Humidity Warning”– “Low Battery Warning”

• Consumables used– Molecular Sieve– Sample Traps (when used)– Calibrant and Verification sample (each will last up to 2

years and replacement cost is very low)

• There are no expensive dopant chemicals, membranes, calibration traps or cleaning supplies
