Compact Explosive and Precursor Screening for Aviation Operations
The ChemSee IFED-02 In-Flight Explosives Detection Kit combines five individually packaged colorimetric detectors for rapid screening of selected explosive materials and explosive precursors. Its compact format supports storage in aircraft, aviation-security vehicles and controlled operational locations.
IFED-02 is intended for trained, authorized personnel operating under an airline, airport, government or security organization’s approved procedures. The detectors provide direct visual responses without an electronic reader.
Five Complementary Detector Types
Nitro-Pen
Screening for nitro-organics and nitramines; applicable inorganic nitrates when used with the supplied Z-Pad. Examples include TNT, PETN, RDX, HMX and applicable nitrate salts.
On-The-Spot
Focused screening for inorganic nitrate residues such as ammonium, potassium and sodium nitrate.
Verifier
Screening for selected flammable liquid precursors and strong oxidizers, including acetone and hydrogen peroxide.
Gel-Ox
Screening for strong oxidizers in gels, viscous liquids and other samples not suited to the standard liquid-precursor format.
Acid Test
Screening for selected strong-acid precursor categories, including sulfuric and hydrochloric acid.
Role in an Aviation Response Plan
When an unknown powder, liquid or residue is discovered, the first priority is the organization’s established safety and security procedure. IFED-02 can provide an additional screening capability after authorized personnel determine that testing is appropriate.
- Secure and assess. Follow carrier, airport and law-enforcement procedures for the item and location.
- Select the applicable detector. Match the sample and suspected material to the supplied detector instructions.
- Perform the screening test. Use the supplied materials and full-color reference information.
- Report and escalate. Treat positive, uncertain or conflicting results according to the approved incident plan.
Aviation & Bomb-Threat Resources
Compact Deployment
Approximately 10 × 7 × 3 inches and about 410 grams, supporting controlled storage where space and weight are limited.
Visual Results
Each detector produces an applicable color response that is interpreted using supplied reference colors and operating instructions.
No Electronic Reader
Self-contained detector formats reduce power, calibration and instrument-startup requirements during deployment.
