Venue & Facility Explosive Screening

Support a Layered Venue or Facility Security Plan

Public venues, corporate campuses, critical infrastructure, mailrooms and event operations need screening procedures that fit throughput, staffing, escalation and emergency-response plans. ChemSee detectors can add portable presumptive chemistry screening when trained personnel have an authorized sample to test.

Discuss Facility ScreeningCompare Products

Before Opening

Risk-based sweeps, controlled-area checks, equipment readiness and staff briefing.

During Operations

Defined secondary-screening positions, clear handoffs and response thresholds.

After an Alert

Protect people first, isolate the area and follow law-enforcement or bomb-squad direction.

Where ChemSee Fits

Colorimetric screening is one layer—not a substitute for access control, trained search teams, canine or electronic detection, emergency communications, or bomb-squad support.

  • SprayView™: controlled surface-residue screening where the test area is appropriate for direct spray application.
  • EXPKIT: portable multi-target screening for properly collected samples.
  • Nitro-Screen: repeated sample screening where higher capacity is required.
  • IFED-02: compact aviation-oriented readiness kit for approved operational procedures.
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.

Plan Around People, Process and Throughput

Planning Question Why It Matters
What is the target list? Determines detector chemistry and product configuration.
Where will secondary screening occur? Controls safety, lighting, ventilation, documentation and crowd flow.
Who may collect or test samples? Defines training, PPE, evidence handling and escalation authority.
What happens after an alert? The response plan must precede deployment of the screening tool.
