miniEXPLONIX3
The miniExplonix3 analyzes swab samples for explosives and can also operate in vapor sniffing mode. Samples are analyzed using an infrared detector fitted with either a standard or an advanced detector cartridge. The standard cartridge detects a wide range of nitro- and peroxide-based explosives, while the advanced cartridge detects a narrower range of compounds with better sensitivity.
