Detection of Explosives & Explosive Precursors
ChemSee offers a wide range of detection kits for explosives and explosive precursors. Positive detection of all explosives results in a distinct color change on the detector, allowing for simple analysis. All Kits are provided with full-color instructions and can be refilled after use.
(LEFT) U.S. Military test results using the ChemSee Nitro-Pen Detector, the only detector in the world which allows for the detection of organic nitrates, nitramines and inorganic nitrates in a single, easy-to-use test.
