IONSCAN

IONSCAN is a portable device used by law enforcement and security agencies to quickly detect trace amounts of drugs or explosive materials on surfaces or in samples. It works by collecting tiny particles, vapor, or residues and analyzing their chemical properties using ion mobility spectrometry. This process separates ions based on how they move through a medium under an electric field, allowing for rapid identification of specific substances. IONSCAN provides quick, on-site results, helping authorities make immediate decisions during investigations or security checks without waiting for lab analysis.
