Law Enforcement & Military Explosive Screening

Portable Screening for Trained Public-Safety and Defense Teams

ChemSee field detectors support rapid presumptive screening of authorized samples during investigations, checkpoints, interdiction, site exploitation, training and legacy-site assessment. Compact kits provide direct visual responses without an electronic reader.

Broad Mission Set

EXPKIT-01 combines explosive and precursor detectors.

Explosive Materials

EXPKIT-02 focuses on finished explosives and related nitrate classes.

Explosive Precursors

EXPKIT-03 focuses on selected oxidizers, flammables and strong acids.

Operational Use Cases

  • Authorized residue and material screening during investigations
  • Checkpoint, border, port and transportation-interdiction support
  • Military and public-safety training with approved materials or simulants
  • Evidence triage before submission for confirmatory analysis
  • Assessment of properly cleared sites with suspected explosive use or contamination
Presumptive screening only: ChemSee detectors support trained, authorized personnel after a sample is determined safe to collect under an approved procedure. Never touch, move, open or sample a suspicious item merely to perform a test. Follow local law-enforcement, bomb-squad or EOD direction.

Evidence and Decision Discipline

  1. Use the current detector instructions and agency SOP.
  2. Document the sample source, collection method, detector lot, operator and result.
  3. Maintain appropriate evidence controls and avoid cross-contamination.
  4. Treat the response as presumptive; preserve confirmatory pathways.
