With billions of US dollars in drug and asset seizures being made with the
assistance of an IONSCAN, and thousands being used at major international
airports, by the military and law enforcement agencies, the IONSCAN 400B is
the world’s most popular desktop explosives or narcotics trace detector.

A simple wipe with a swab over items such as checked or carry-on luggage,
portable electronic devices, and packages is all that is necessary to collect a
sample which is then placed into the IONSCAN for analysis. In 8 seconds the
color-coded display presents results to the operator — red for a detection and
green for the “all-clear”. If a contraband substance is detected, the specific
name is identified on the display.  A detection of trace explosives indicates that
an explosives device may be present or that the person may have been
handling explosive material in preparing a bomb and further investigation is
necessary.

Leading aviation organizations, including the FAA/TSA in the United States,


Transport Canada, and the BAA in the United Kingdom, have evaluated and
approved the IONSCAN for their aviation security needs.

Sample Collection
Proper sample collection is key to the success of any trace detector.  The swab
sampler provided with every IONSCAN is the most effective sample collector
available.  The design allows sufficient force to be applied in sample collection
without tiring the operator.

The long arm of the swab sampler allows the sample to be collected without risk
of hand injury to the operator from hidden sharp objects.
