Kerber-ST: Compact Stationary Detector for Explosives and Narcotics on Fingers

Explosives can be detected automatically on fingers when a person presses the sampling device button of the detector.

Substances detected by the Kerber-ST IMS

  • Explosives (detection and identification): nitramines (hexogen, octogen, tetryl), nitroesters (nitroglycerin, ethylene glycol dinitrate, PETN), nitroaromatic compounds (TNT, dinitrotoluene), organic peroxide compounds (acetone peroxide, HMTD), inorganic nitrates (ammonium, potassium and sodium nitrate), etc., as well as mixed explosives based on them.
  • Narcotics (detection and identification): cannabinoids (hashish/marijuana), opiates (morphine, heroin, codeine, fentanyl, etc.), amphetamines (amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA, etc.), cocaine, etc. (optional)

These are only the most common substances from the list of detected and identified by the Kerber series detectors. List of detectable substances may be supplemented in accordance with the wishes of the customer.

Advantages

  • Wide range of detectable substances
  • Possibility of logical and physical integration into any types of ACS
  • High throughput
  • No expensive consumables required
  • Efficient self-cleaning system
  • Expandable list of identified substances

Scope of application

  • Express detection of trace amounts of explosives at various checkpoints (passport and visa control at airports, train stations, entrances to mass events, industrial facilities and specially protected areas);
  • control of access to premises with increased security requirements;
  • inspection control of trace quantities of explosives on hands after contact with them.
