The NUCTECH™ TR series is applied to identify the presence and type of traces of explosive and narcotic substances that can be taken from the
sampling of suitcases, vehicles and even individuals.
By adopting reliable trace detection technology based on Ion Mobility Spectrometry, the TR series provides high sensitivity and flexibility in detecting a wide range of explosives and drugs in a fast analysis cycle and is therefore ideal for all security applications and analysis in Customs.
The TR series includes the TR2000DB-A and TR2000DC benchtop detector for analysis at security checkpoints and the TR1000DB-A handheld detector for portable and field use, with low weight, robustness and rechargeable Li-ion batteries.
Because the TR1000DB-A is handheld and runs on a rechargeable battery, it suits situations where the inspection has to come to the item rather than the other way around, for example checking a parked vehicle, a piece of luggage at a roadside stop, or an individual during a field operation. Its low weight means an operator can carry it for a full shift without the device becoming a burden, while the underlying Ion Mobility Spectrometry technology keeps the analysis itself fast.
Frequently asked questions
Is the TR1000 meant for fixed checkpoints or field use?
It is the handheld member of the TR series, built for portable and field use rather than being installed permanently at one checkpoint.
What kind of substances can it detect?
A wide range of explosives and narcotics, identified through trace sampling from surfaces such as luggage, vehicles, or an individual.
How long does a single analysis take?
The TR series is built for a fast analysis cycle, which is part of why it suits busy security checkpoints as well as field use.
