Photon detector RoadRunner

explosivestracethermal

It is a dual-mode detector capable to accept vapor samples and swab samples: With a weight of 3.5 kg it is literally a "go anywhere" device. A battery lifetime of 4 hours and the feature of hot-swap battery exchange further expand the usability. The use of a non-radioactive, high energy photon ionization source eases the life of the user since this ionization method does not belong to legislation related to radiation safety. The incorporation of the patented CHIRP-IMS technology provides for the first time the sensitivity of bench-top trace detectors in a handheld design. An automatic internal calibration makes manual calibration and verification steps obsolete and eases the everyday use. RoadRunner Meets ECAC Standard for Passenger and Cargo Screening The Bruker RoadRunner, an innovative, hand-held explosives and narcotics trace detector has passed the challenging ECAC testing protocol with outstanding results and is now the only handheld explosives trace detection instrument (ETD) on the market that meets ECAC standards for both, passenger and cargo screening using hand or wand sampling. This light-weight, hand-held instrument has the same outstanding detection performance as a state-of-the art benchtop ETD instrument. The rugged RoadRunner is battery-operated, weighs just 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) including battery, and offers dual modes for ‘sniffing’ vapour samples directly, as well as for thermal desorption of particles captured by swabs. A battery lifetime of 4 hours combined with a hot-swap battery feature further expands the usability of RoadRunner.
