  • Hand-held detection system using GC/IMS
    Patent number: 6481263
    Abstract: A sampling and gas chromatographic separation detection system and method which is capable of sampling and analyzing particulate and vapors containing drug and explosive residues in real time. The system and method provide high speed and low power consumption from the combination of a cold ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) with a “heat-on-demand” gas chromatographic (GC) system which eliminates the need to continuously heat the device, thus making the detection system battery operable and portable.

  • Laser detection of explosive residues
    Patent number: 5760898
    Abstract: A laser is used in the detection of explosives residue by creating micro-detonations of explosive particles adhered to objects. An object is scanned with a beam of coherent laser light to induce micro-detonations of micro-particles of explosive residue adhered to the object. Temporal and spectral information representative of light emitted by the micro-particles is used to characterize the explosives.
