GDA-X
The standard GDA commonly used to detect and
identify hazardous gaseous compounds has been
improved to allow the detection of explosives. The
hybrid Gas Detector Array (GDA) is a gas detection
device with multiple sensors which allows detecting a broad range of hazardous gases with high specificity. All the sensors (IMS, PID, EC, 2xMOS) from the array deliver complementary information about the detected compounds. The sensor signals are evaluated and compared with the library. Upon a library match, compound and concentration is displayed. Extending this technology for the detection of explosives requires evaporation of some explosive materials with very low volatility and some modification on the detector.
