Explosive Detection IMASS™ Device
DISCONTINUED - The Explosive Detection IMASS™ device is used to directly sample surfaces, solids and liquids using an integrated sponge. A number of test strips are then run simultaneously from the sample, giving visual results for military explosives and multiple homemade explosive components in 3 minutes. The IMASS™ device can be used while wearing full protective equipment. The IMASS™ device contains immunoassays which specifically identify TNT, RDX and PETN and their derivatives such as Semtex, C3, C4 and HMX. Colorimetric tests within the device give results for common homemade explosive components; ammonium, nitrate and sugar.
