Narcotics detector ITEMISER® 5X

explosivestraceportable

Overview
The Itemiser® 5X uses optimized detection libraries and advanced software algorithms to detect trace amounts of explosive and narcotic threats. The system employs a non‑radioactive ionization source technology that removes the need for licensing and annual wipe tests and reduces transport constraints. Designed as a portable, ergonomic desktop trace detection system, the Itemiser® 5X features automated internal calibration, an internal one‑hour relocation battery and remote monitoring to maximise operational availability and detection performance.

Key features

• Optimized detection libraries and advanced software algorithms
• Simultaneous dual‑mode detection (explosives and narcotics configurable)
• Non‑radioactive ionization source (no radioactive source required)
• High‑speed trace detection; results in approximately eight seconds or less
• Optimized heated desorber for efficient sample introduction
• Automated internal calibration to reduce consumable use
• Patented regenerative dryer to extend uptime and lower replacement frequency
• Lightweight, portable ergonomic desktop design with internal one‑hour battery for relocation without shutdown
• Remote status monitoring and REMOTE CONNECT™ software for secure fleet monitoring and remote control
• Suitable for mobile and permanent deployments for screening people and luggage

Product details
The Itemiser® 5X can be configured for explosives detection, narcotics detection, or combined dual‑mode detection in a single unit. The optimized heated desorber evaporates microscopic particles and draws them efficiently into the detector, improving sensitivity and reducing result time. The non‑radioactive ion source removes licensing and wipe‑test requirements and simplifies transport and deployment. Automated internal calibration and the patented regenerative dryer reduce consumable consumption and maintenance interventions, increasing operational availability. The internal one‑hour battery removes warm‑up delays during relocation and maintains short-term operation during power interruptions.
