Instant forensic detection for drugs and explosives
Scentinel II is a second-generation Explosive and Other Threats Trace Detection capability designed for national security applications. It provides high specificity analysis and returns near-0% false indication rates, making it suitable for high-assurance defensive search tasks.
Scentinel II is a self-contained, small-molecule, triple-quad mass spectrometry detection system. It can be deployed as part of a transportable laboratory, or a stand-alone system, wherever required.
Fully automatic, it can be made ready for use within 30 minutes.
Results from its dedicated end-user software require minimal interpretation, allowing operators to concentrate on sample acquisition.
It uses off-the-shelf sampling materials, a thermal desorption sample introduction, and can also be adapted for trapped vapour analysis.
Scentinel II would be a key technical asset to support any search operation. It is designed to deliver high confidence search results for high-profile events where there is a credible security threat and the impact of delay or cancellation is significant.
Scentinel II detects trace levels of target compounds of interest including:
-
Military, plastic, commercial and home-made explosives
-
Illicit drugs, cutting agents and metabolites
-
Chemical warfare agents
Scentinel II is also suitable for mobile forensic laboratory applications and can be configured with LC-MS equipment if required.
