TRACER 1000 MS-ETDTM
1ST Detect’s TRACER 1000 MS-ETDTM is an Explosives Trace Detection solution representing a linear ion trap mass spectrometer with a swab-based thermal desorption sample inlet system. The system is designed to be capable of detecting a wide range of compounds which are semi-volatile and/or nonvolatile, including explosives, drugs of abuse, and chemical warfare agents. The instrument uses chemical ionization. MS/MS capabilities allow verification of any positive results.
