Rapiscan® Systems flexible, lightweight desktop detector simultaneously analyzes both positive and negative ions, allowing for advanced explosive and narcotic contraband detection.
The Itemiser® 3 Enhanced is the first trace detector in the world to simultaneously detect positive and negative ions, enabling the detection of a broad range of explosives and narcotics. Detection of both positive and negative ions allows for effective identification from a single sample. It delivers fast, simultaneous explosives and narcotics detection in a package that is ergonomic and portable.

SIMULTANEOUS DUAL-MODE DETECTION
Traditional IMS instruments operate in either positive or negative mode, but not both modes simultaneously.
While negative mode operation detects the majority of explosives, certain explosives are detected in positive mode. Therefore to rule out the presence of all explosives, conventional IMS detectors require operators to sample and test using two separate detectors.
EASILY TRANSPORTED AND FLEXIBLE DESKTOP TRACE DETECTION
The Itemiser® 3 Enhanced was designed with portability and flexibility in mind. This unit offers a compact footprint, folding touch screen, easy-carrying handle, a 60-minute battery backup, and the potential to be relocated quickly.
• Particle swipe: Reusable sample traps are swiped across a surface and then inserted into the Itemiser® 3 Enhanced for analysis. Typical surfaces include baggage, cargo, vehicles, containers, tickets, and ID cards.
• Optional vacuum sampling: An optional vacuum sampler draws vapors into a sponge-like sample trap, which is then inserted into the Itemiser® 3 Enhanced for analysis. Applications include cargo containers, car trunks, and luggage.
EASY-TO-USE OPERATOR INTERFACE
Results require minimal interpretation, so operators may concentrate on obtaining a good sample. Itemiser® 3 Enhanced’s onboard computer automatically handles all data logging, including time, date, and sample analysis for each alarm. A complete history of saved data and alarm files can be recalled and printed at any time.
SENSITIVITY/SELECTIVITY
Patented ITMS™ technology helps increase ion population, enabling detection of microscopic traces of explosives and narcotics.
Patented switching mechanism simultaneously detects positive and negative ions, enabling the detection of a broad range of explosives, while also detecting narcotics.
VERSATILE
Remote monitoring capable.
Detects both explosives and narcotics.
Semi-permeable membrane excludes dust and dirt to allow continued operation in environments that have high traffic, humidity or contamination.
Expandable libraries to accommodate unique user requirements.
Three default user levels (operator, maintenance and administrator) for greater access control.
