M-ION is efficient both indoors and outdoors at temperatures above zero

M-ION can detect and identify a wide variety of explosives including pure explosives and composite explosives under different humidity and pressure conditions in vapour* and trace (particles) modes.

The list of explosives includes: TNT,RDX,C4,Semtex,PETN,ANFO,EGDN,Nitroglycerine (NG), Dynamite, DNT, Black Powder , Ammonia and Urea nitrates, HMTD, Tetryl, HMX, PICRIC ACID and mixtures thereof.

The cost of ownership of M-ION is very low, as no special consumables are required. Regular aluminium foil wipes are used for sampling in the trace mode.

M-ION runs on the Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry principle. M-ION contains no radiation sources. Corona discharge functions as the source of ionization.

M-ION features user authorization function with the internal memory which allows to save more than 5OO K results of analysis.

  • no special calibration required
  • warms up in only 30 sec
  • easy to use, no special training required

Presence of an explosive is visualized on the LCD display of the device or any Wi-Fi device usable as a remote control.

GPS option allows to determine the coordinates of the device when an alarm is detected and save the information to the database.

Optional built-in searching radiometer in intended for measuring g-ray dosage. It allows fast and effective detection of radiation sources with extra short exposure time.
