The miniEXPLONIX is a next-generation handheld Explosives Trace Detector (ETD) based on IRSSIL technology. It is designed for rapid and highly sensitive detection of explosives such as TATP, RDX, PETN, and TNT. Built for field use, it enables security professionals to identify trace amounts of hazardous substances within seconds.
Unlike bulky laboratory systems, this explosives trace detector is designed for deployment in the field and rapid vapors or particle traces screening. This makes it ideal for real-world security environments where speed and accuracy are critical.
Whether deployed at airports, border checkpoints, or military operations, miniEXPLONIX delivers fast, reliable, and lab-level detection performance in a compact handheld device.
The miniEXPLONIX is a handheld explosives detector designed for efficient use in the field. The device is ready within seconds, allowing immediate response in critical situations. Moreover, it delivers fast and highly sensitive detection while maintaining a low false alarm rate on site.
In addition, the device is resistant to interfering chemicals and contamination, which enables consistent performance even in complex operational environments. At the same time, its lightweight and portable design makes it easy to carry and use during real-world missions.
Furthermore, the system is simple to operate with one-button control. Additionally, this detector supports remote control and diagnostics, which improves operational efficiency. As a result, it enables fast, reliable, and effective explosive trace detection directly in practice.
First responders must rapidly and accurately identify potential threats. For example, they need to ensure public safety, minimize risks, and enhance emergency response operations. The miniEXPLONIX is a leading solution for explosives detection in the field. It outperforms traditional ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) devices by delivering fast, compact and highly reliable threat detection in real-world security screening environments outside the laboratory.
The miniEXPLONIX explosive trace detector is ready for operation within just 15 seconds from a cold start.
With a simple second button press, measurement begins instantly—no cleaning cycle required.
The miniExplonix is ready to action delivered with heavy duty sealed transport case. The holster with Tek-Mount (Quick Connect Mounting System) allows you the miniExponix have at your hand immediately.
The miniEXPLONIX explosives trace detector combines simplicity of use with mission-critical, uninterrupted 24/7 operation.
Moreover, batteries can be swapped instantly, charged in an external station. Alternatively, the device can be powered and recharged directly via AC or 12/24V vehicle adapters—even during operation.
