Company Info• Based in Webster, TX

• Miniature mass spectrometry technology originally developed for NASA

• Formed by Astrotech in 2008 to commercialize this mini-MS technology

The challenge of rapid and accurate screening at cargo and security checkpoints has escalated in recent years due to the increased availability of narcotics and explosive materials, coupled with the evolution of terroristic techniques and practices.

Security organizations currently use ion-mobility spectrometry (IMS) technology to scan for traces of explosives and other chemical compounds. However, IMS technology’s limited resolution and selectivity have historically resulted in a higher-than-desirable false alarm rate. Additionally, IMS systems can only support a detection library of 10 to 20 compounds, and the process of tailoring their target libraries can be difficult, if not impossible.

Engineered in state-of-the-art research and production facilities just outside Houston, TX, 1ST Detect’s next-generation, mass spectrometry-based detector includes near-zero false positive rates and rapid analysis time, as well as many of the most advanced features found in large and expensive laboratory mass spectrometers – at a fraction of the cost and size.

Designed to detect explosives including plastic explosives, peroxides, and HMEs – as well as narcotics including fentanyl and fentanyl analogs – the TRACER 1000 is expected to greatly improve civilian safety and border and checkpoint security, while optimizing cargo and passenger throughput.

The TRACER 1000 can be custom-developed for your facility’s unique needs. For more information, visit www.1stdetect.com.

Technical Specifications

Detection Capabilities

Explosives: Military, commercial-grade and home-made explosives (HMEs) such as TNT, RDX, Picric acid, R-salt, smokeless powders, PETN, NG, AN, UN, HMTD, TATP, EGDN and others; as well as peroxides and formulated threats

Narcotics: A broad range of narcotics, pharmaceutical drugs and controlled substances including fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, amphetamines, cocaine, heroin, and others

TraceAlert™ Software1ST Detect’s TraceAlert proprietary software is included with all TRACER 1000 units and requires minimal operator training.

The software collects, displays and exports results in a variety of formats. TraceAlert was designed to be simple for all users, including those with limited to no knowledge about mass spectrometry or detection instrumentation in general.

Collecting Samples1. Put on clean gloves.

2. Hold the wide end of the swab, and press the sample area firmly against the sampling surface using your index and middle fingers, applying force pressure at 5-15 lbs.

3. In a straight line, wipe at least 3 inches to the right. Do not lift the swab off the surface or over the edges of the material being sampled.

4. In a smooth transition, raster (swoop) down.

5. Swab at least 3 inches to the left and repeat step #4 before reaching the edge of the surface.

6. In a smooth transition, raster down.

7. Repeat steps 3 - 5.

8. Sweep up the sample surface and lift the swab before the end of the surface. The last motion up ensures the total area has been covered and allows any material pushed by the swab to be collected.

Sampling Tips• Ideal locations for collecting samples are along tape

seams, handles, and other frequently touched areas

• Do not swab the surface of any electronic screen or camera lens to avoid damaging the surface

• When collecting samples from flat surfaces, use a raster motion (pictured left) to maximize pick-up and avoid pushing particulates to the edges of the surface

• Do not lift the swab from the sample surface until the entire raster motion is complete

• Once the sample is inserted into the unit, immediately touch the screen to begin analysis

Recommended Accessories• Swabs: Teflon®-coated (PTFE) fiberglass swab

• Gloves: Nitrile, latex, or cloth inspection gloves
