    Brief

These detectors are intended for armed personnel of the financial administration, who will use them to detect trace amounts of narcotics, explosives, and unknown substances at border crossings, international airports, and postal facilities, or during mobile surveillance operations.

The detectors are designed for field use, equipped with an electronic library essential for identifying traces of narcotics and explosives, allowing for easy storage, management, and transfer of measured data. They enable quick and reliable identification of active substances and immediate verification of the identity of substances.
