Ion drift detector IDD Kerber
To identify explosive, narcotic, and toxic substances, a Kerber ion detector is used. The Kerber portable ion drift detector detects traces of toxic chemicals and warfare agents in the air, on surfaces, skin, and clothing.
The advantage of the Kerber detector is its mobile size, convenient carrying, and a constantly updated database, which allows you to expand the capabilities of the device.
Characteristics
The Kerber Explosives Detector uses ion-molecular bonds to identify particles that may be in the air or on surfaces. The high sensitivity of the Kerber gas analyzer allows the user to accurately determine the presence of prohibited items and the degree of their danger.
Portable Kerber is used to identify and analyze explosive, poisonous, and narcotic particles. The special design of the housing makes it possible to automatically detect and analyze incoming substances. Using the Kerber device, you can analyze vapors or solid particles.
Advantages of the Kerber ion drift detector:
Equipment advantages:
- automatic detection;
- wide database;
- identification of positively and negatively charged ions;
- safety of use;
- no radioactive exposure;
- low cost of service;
- more than 40 molecules of substances that can be identified;
- самоочистка;
- compact dimensions;
- light weight;
- detection of substances in trace quantities, as well as in the form of vapor;
- the ability to quickly switch between modes for analysis on the surface or in the air;
- convenient carrying handle.
Operating principle of the Kerber gas analyzer
The device identifies particles by analyzing the speed of movement of ions. Air ionization occurs through a pulsed discharge. The device has a built-in mode for automatically detecting foreign molecules and particles in the air.
The Kerber portable ion drift detector identifies particles by analyzing the speed of movement of ions. Air ionization occurs through a pulsed discharge. The device has a built-in mode for automatically detecting foreign molecules and particles in the air.
Sequence of actions:
- taking a sample of traces or vapors - sampling can be carried out from a horizontal, vertical surface or from the air; air samples are taken directly; the particles must be preheated on an aluminum cloth (heater and cloth included);
- ionization – based on a pulsed gas discharge of particles;
- division of particles into molecules and atoms depending on mass and size;
- determination of particles included in the sample according to characteristics and properties;
- transmission and output of the result to the built-in screen.
To analyze particles or vapors present on the surface, you must use a special napkin that comes with the kit. The user just needs to wipe the surface with a napkin and then place it in the device.
The Kerber detector meets the standards of the Russian Federation, in particular:
- provisions of Government Resolution No. 969;
- Presidential Decree No. 97;
- provisions of the order of the Ministry of Transport No. 227.
The device can operate continuously for four hours without requiring recharging or battery replacement. To replace the battery, no additional equipment or tools are required, so it can be changed in the field on the go. Using the device does not involve the purchase of expensive or rare consumables; it is completely ready for use, no additional modules or attachments are required.
Application of the Kerber ion drift detector
The device is used to detect hazardous substances at enterprises, factories, sensitive facilities, during border control or during customs inspections. The devices are widely used by security agencies and law enforcement agencies for conducting examinations in laboratories.
Areas of application:
- criminology;
- таможенный контроль;
- inspection of passenger cars and trucks;
- inspection by law enforcement agencies;
- cargo inspection.
The Kerber traffic police department is used for inspection at checkpoints, train stations, stadiums, checkpoints, as well as for checking the environmental situation in the territory. At the post office, the Kerber ion drift detector makes it possible to identify hazardous substances in a parcel without opening the package.
The Kerber explosives detector is used to check vehicles, cargo, luggage, and also people. The device does not produce hazardous, radioactive substances during operation, therefore it is completely safe.
The kit includes a case and a strap for easy portability of the device, as well as everything necessary for accurate and quick inspection in non-laboratory or other conditions:
- dipstick;
- standard calibration samples KO-3, NG, AC;
- USB flash drive;
- aluminum wipes for sample removal;
- desiccant granules;
- portable charger;
- extra battery;
- documentation.
You can buy Kerber at a low price from the SLS-GROUP company. A commercial offer for the Kerber ion drift detector and prices for other devices are available upon request.
