Instrumentation specialist Quantitech will be demonstrating technologies available for banned substance and fumigants detection in containers at this year’s Transport Security Expo and Conference at London Olympia on September 14 and 15.
Quantitech, who have recently concluded a collaboration agreement with TeknoScan Systems of Canada, will be exhibiting the TeknoScan Analyser at stand F10 for the first time in the UK.
TeknoScan has developed the portable system for detecting banned substances that has the firm says advantages over existing techniques, such as the ability to detect target substances from a library containing up to 50 separate compounds all at once, providing complete analysis of a sample in three minutes or less.
TeknoScan has demonstrated detection and identification of threat substances from samples with the analyser as small as 0.1 nanograms in a polluted environment.
Also on show at the stand will be the Gasmet Dx-4030, which can be deployed for the testing of fumigants and toxic industrial chemicals in cargo containers at ports and airports. Employing FTIR technology, the analyser is already helping professional investigations in a wide variety of applications including those for which it is not possible to determine, in advance, the gases that are likely to be encountered. The instrument is claimed to be the world’s first truly portable FTIR multicomponent gas analyser, enabling operators to measure multiple components simultaneously, including Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and almost anything else it’s claimed.
Keith Golding, Quantitech Managing Director, said: "We are looking forward to demonstrating the advanced technology we have on offer to help combat the threat of terrorism and organised crime and simultaneously enhance transport security and safety.” Visit –
