IONSCAN 500DT - Explosives and Narcotics Trace Detector

Key Benefits

Simultaneous detection of explosives and narcotics
Detection and identification of over 40 substances in 5-8 seconds
Large colour touch screen
Built-in printer
Large internal memory for storing results

The IONSCAN 500DT meets the growing need of security professionals for a broad spectrum detection instrument that can adapt to changing hazards.

The IONSCAN 500 DT combines two ion mobility detectors into one unit, allowing it to detect and identify explosives and narcotics in a single analysis. This enables it to detect a wide range of substances while maintaining the high sensitivity and selectivity that are typical of Smiths Detection instruments.

This “dual” detector technology is ideal for security applications. It enables security personnel to detect a much wider range of explosives. Customs and border control agencies that require detection of both narcotics and explosives in a single sample will be able to do so with a single instrument.

Security professionals will be able to more effectively protect checkpoints at shopping malls, courthouses and correctional facilities by being able to detect multiple threats with a single instrument.

The Evolution of IONSCAN

Building on the successful and proven technology of the IONSCAN class of detectors, the IONSCAN 500DT features an ergonomic design and includes a large color touch screen, built-in printer and 40E6 internal hard drive. Other new features include a full-featured EIK, expanded memory and network connectivity.

The IONSCAN 500DT uses the same ion mobility detectors as the IONSCAN 400B.

Over 6,000 units are used in aviation security, law enforcement, the military and private security.

Sampling System

The advanced wand-type sampling device minimizes operator contact with the swab and sample. This results in higher quality samples collected and analyzed, resulting in improved performance of the IONSCAN 500DT.

Simplified Maintenance

The IONSCAN 500DT includes a regenerative Air Purification System (APS) that reduces maintenance time and lowers cost of ownership. In addition, most parts of the instrument are field replaceable by the operator without tools.

Software

The IONSCAN 500DT uses custom software and is navigated via a large color touch screen.

The large screen size and color-coded interface make it easy to view results and operate the IONSCAN 500DT. The extended internal memory allows for storing more analysis results. These results can be printed on the built-in printer and exported via the USB port. The software provides skilled operators with the ability to review and analyze the results later.
