Portable Explosive Detection Kits & Screening Products
ChemSee explosive detection products provide portable colorimetric screening for explosives, explosive residues and materials that may be used as explosive precursors. Options range from SprayView products capable of directly screening large suspect surfaces to individual detectors, portable field kits and high-volume screening systems.
Select a product family below, or use our comparison guide if you need help determining which explosive detection kit best fits your application.
Choose by Screening Need
Start with the type of material or screening operation you need to address.
<
SprayView™
Rapid colorimetric screening that can be applied directly to large suspect surfaces for the presence of nitrate-based explosives. Residue collection is optional when sampling is preferred or direct application is impractical.
Best for: Large-area surface screening, security inspections, mining, vehicles, equipment and field applications.
Standard sizes:
25 tests • 50 tests • 100 tests
SprayView PLUS™
Expands the direct large-surface screening capability of SprayView by adding detection for selected explosive precursor materials. Residue collection remains optional.
Best for: Large-area screening applications requiring broader detection capability than standard SprayView.
Size:
50 tests
EXPKIT Series
Portable kits combining individually packaged detectors for explosives, explosive precursors or both.
Configurations:
EXPKIT-01 • EXPKIT-02 • EXPKIT-03
Best for: Field security, investigative and specialized screening operations.
Nitro-Screen
Bulk screening configurations for rapidly testing large numbers of samples for nitrate-based explosives.
Configurations:
NSK-01 and enhanced versions
Capacity:
Up to 140 samples
IFED-02
A compact collection of explosive and explosive-precursor detectors designed for storage and deployment in space-limited environments.
Best for: Aviation and transportation security applications.
Format:
Compact multi-detector kit
Individual Detectors
Individual colorimetric detectors are available when the screening requirement is focused on a particular explosive or precursor rather than a complete kit.
Best for: Target-specific testing and custom kit configurations.
Options:
Explosives + Selected Precursors
Which Explosive Detection Kit Do You Need?
The best configuration depends on your target materials, screening environment and expected testing volume.
| If You Need To… | Consider |
|---|---|
| Rapidly screen large surfaces directly for nitrate-based explosives, with optional residue collection | SprayView™ |
| Directly screen large surfaces while adding selected explosive-precursor detection capability | SprayView PLUS™ |
| Carry a portable kit for both explosives and explosive precursors | EXPKIT-01 |
| Focus primarily on nitrate-based explosives and nitramines | EXPKIT-02 |
| Focus primarily on explosive precursor materials | EXPKIT-03 |
| Screen a large number of samples for nitrate-based explosives | Nitro-Screen |
| Deploy a compact multi-detector configuration for aviation | IFED-02 |
| Test for only one or several specific target materials | Individual Detectors |
Portable Explosive Detection Kits
The EXPKIT series combines individually packaged detectors into portable configurations based on the required detection objective.
EXPKIT-01
Explosives & Explosive Precursors
Broad portable configuration combining detectors for nitrate-based explosives, nitramines and several explosive precursor categories.
Use when: Both finished explosives and precursor materials may need to be screened.
EXPKIT-02
Explosives
Portable configuration focused on nitrate-based explosives and nitramines without the broader precursor-screening components of EXPKIT-01.
Use when: The primary objective is explosive-material detection.
EXPKIT-03
Explosive Precursors
Portable configuration focused on selected flammables, oxidizers and other materials that may be used as explosive precursors.
Use when: Precursor screening is the primary requirement.
Explosive & Fertilizer Identification
ChemSee also offers specialized products for identifying nitrate-containing fertilizers and related suspect materials.
3A2Z™
Explosive Fertilizer Identification Kit
Portable colorimetric identification for several fertilizer materials that may be associated with explosive applications.
Targets include ammonium nitrate, urea nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate and ammonium sulfate.
3A3Z™
Explosive Material Identification Kit
Self-contained colorimetric identification product for several nitrate-containing fertilizers and related suspect materials.
Targets include ammonium nitrate, urea nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate and chlorates.
Designed for Field Screening
Portable
Compact product and kit configurations support deployment in field, checkpoint, transportation and security environments.
Colorimetric
Detection is based on visible color responses generated by the applicable detector chemistry and interpreted using the supplied instructions or reference colors.
Application-Specific
Choose from standard configurations for surface screening, portable field testing, high-volume operations or specific target materials.
Need a Custom Explosive Detection Kit?
Standard kits do not cover every screening requirement. ChemSee can discuss configurations based on the explosives or precursor materials you need to detect, your application and expected testing volume.
If you only need to screen for one specific material, individual detectors may also be a better fit than a complete kit.
