Featured Application
Explosive Detection
EST zNose is a unique solution for detecting explosives easily, fast and safe.
The Model 4600 offers portable ultrafast GC in near real time that can be used by security personnel to screen even the most difficult to reach areas.
Whether it is to screen a vehicle, a cargo container or a simple handbag.
The Model 4600 is attached on a handy portable roller case that can easily detach the sampling nose. Sample the trunk of a car or the rear seats to find out where explosives might be hidden or where explosives were present in the past.
To sample a difficult to reach location, use the remote sampling kit to sample for example at ventilation ducts from cargo containers. Afterwards, simply place the sample tube in the detector and press run on the screen.
The zNose Model 4600 can detect odors up to ppt level in near real time making it a valuable tool for security personnel.
