Note

1

EVD-3000, IDS

 Most military and civilian explosives
(C-4, TNT (dynamite), PETN, Semtex, EGDN, DMNB, RDX (RDX and nitrates), EGMN and nitroglycerin)
Sensitivity: in the range of 2-20 ng. (powder and vapor)		 Advantages:

  • Fully portable device
  • Does not contain radioactive sources
  • Does not require carrier gas
  • Cheaper compared to similar systems
  • Wider range of detectable substances (including ICAO)
  • Two sampling methods: solid sampling and vapor sampling.

Disadvantages:

  • Lower detectable concentration levels compared to Ionscan 400B

2

IONSCAN 400B, Barringer

 Pentrite, TNT, Semtex, Tetryl, RDX, Nitrates, Nitroglycerin, HMX, etc. Possibility of programming for new substances in the field. Sensitivity for explosives — 1 pg. Sensitivity for drugs in the region of 1 ng.
Detectable drugs: Cocaine, Heroin, PCP, THC, Methamphetamine, LSD, Marijuana, etc. Possibility of programming for new substances in the field.		 Advantages:

  • Low levels of detectable concentrations.

Disadvantages:

  • Presence of a radioactive source
  • Heavy weight (use as a stationary device in mobile laboratories)
  • Requirements for a license to use the device.

3.

Itemiser by IonTrack Instruments

 Detects common explosives and narcotics including heroin, cocaine, THC, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, pentaerythritol, trinitrotoluene, dynamite, Semtex Benefits:

  • Fully automated analyzer;
  • Switches detection modes (from explosives to narcotics) in 10 seconds;
  • Automatic calibration for detection of new substances;
  • Easily programmable for 40 types of drugs and explosives.

Disadvantages:

  • Presence of a radioactive source
  • Heavy weight (use as a stationary device in mobile laboratories)
  • Requirements for a license to use the device.

4.

Vapor Tracer, IonTrack Instruments

 Similar to Itemiser (same detector) Advantages:

  • portable device (weight 3.5 kg)

Disadvantages:

  • collects only gaseous samples
  • presence of a radioactive source

5.

GVD-6, Graseby Dynamics

 Explosives detector (no drug detection) Advantages:

  • portable device (weight in transport case 9.5 kg)
  • thin sampler

Disadvantages:

  • presence of radioactive source
