ChemProX
Handheld IMS for chemical detection
The handheld ChemProX detects a wide range of chemical substances and has an extremely low false alarm rate. Its outstanding performance is based on the unique Open-Loop Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) and the manufacturer's experience of more than 30 years.
The latest IMS detector generation can do even more: It is the only detector in its class that enables CBRN users to work in a network. Operator and command centre can share location and detection data as well as findings in real-time. This ensures a complete perception of the scenario.
The progressive device also has a training mode that allows operations to be simulated and practiced without the need to purchase additional equipment.
Areas of application
- Chemical reconnaissance and surveillance
- Localization of leaks and faulty containers
- Definition of the size of a hazardous area
- Site recording and monitoring
- Monitoring of traffic junctions
- Monitoring of mass and VIP events
- Customs and border controls
