ETD-100 Portable Explosive Detector

The ETD-100 is a field-portable, laboratory-grade detection system that identifies inorganic salt-based explosives (nitrates, chlorates, perchlorates) in under 60 seconds. With intuitive touchscreen and ultra-low detection limits, it brings the lab to the checkpoint.

Key Features

Detects inorganic salt-based explosives (nitrates, chlorates, perchlorates) – the primary threat in homemade IEDs.
Rapid analysis – delivers results in less than one minute.
Portable and robust – designed for both mobile and stationary deployments such as checkpoints, border control and forensic labs.
Simple user interface – touchscreen operation with “red/green” alarm screens and audible alerts, minimal training required.
Non-radioactive technology – uses liquid phase Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE) rather than ion mobility with radioactive source.
Low operational cost – minimal consumables (reagent cartridge, swabs, filters), automatic self-calibration and high throughput.
Network enabled – Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB connectivity for data export and remote access.
