INSIGHT 200M

Effective identity check of Airport savety

The inspection of liquids at airports or other critical infrastructure points contributes to greater security.

INSIGHT devices are among the most powerful solutions for the detection of liquid explosives (LEDS Liquid Explosives Detection Systems). In Europe, Asia and Australia alone, several hundred devices are in use.

The INSIGHT200M is the latest device in the series. This further development of the proven INSIGHT100 requires less space and can scan all container types that are classically filled with liquids. Even metal containers can be evaluated. The INSIGHT200M has the highest performance and lowest false alarm rate of any device tested by ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference) in 2015.

The inspection of liquids at airports or other critical infrastructure points can be carried out even faster and safer with this device.

The INSIGHT200M works with the special form of Raman spectroscopy (SORS), which has already proven itself in the pharmaceutical sector. This highly selective, optical analysis method does not require direct contact with the substance under investigation. It is ideally suited for detecting explosives, precursors and other hazardous substances, in particular flammable and toxic chemicals.

 

Areas of application

• Checkpoints at airports and critical infrastructure points - fast analysis for high throughput (Ø measurement time: 5 seconds)
• Identification of liquids in closed containers
• Control of potential hazardous substances; especially explosives and their precursors
