HF-QCM Nanotechnology Sensors
The patented High-Frequency Quartz Crystal Microbalance sensors detect and identify a wide range of substances with great accuracy and speed. The HF-QCM sensors are successfully integrated in the EXPLOSCAN™ with a unique design of a sensor matrix coated with selective polymers.
The detection and identification of target materials is based on the piezoelectric effect where changes in mass affect the resonating frequency of the HF-QCM sensors by the adsorption of foreign molecules on their selective coatings.
The changes in frequency are accurately detected and measured.
Efficient Sample Collection
The EXPLOSCAN™ was designed with portability and flexibility in mind. It offers to analyse the sample in the pointof- screening in real-time; with a secure attachment to a breathable carry-on vest.
Trace Particles Sampling: Reusable sampling swabs are swiped across a surface and then inserted into the detector for analysis. Typical surfaces include baggage, cargo, vehicles, clothes, tickets, passports and ID cards.
Vapor Samples Collection: A battery operated Vapor Sampler draws vapors into a sampling swab, which is then inserted into the detector for analysis. Applications include car trunks, luggage, freight, containers and air cargo screening.
User-Friendly Interface
Sample analysis and results require minimal interpretation, so operators may concentrate on obtaining an efficient sample. The EXPLOSCAN™ onboard processor automatically handles all data logging, including time, date, and sample
analysis for each alarm. A complete history of saved data and alarm files can be viewed, analyzed, downloaded and printed at any time.
