Army Explosive Detection Kit

Where an Army Explosive Detection Kit fits

Trace kits are built for close checks, not wide-area search. They are typically used at checkpoints, entry gates, border posts and baggage lines, where a guard swabs or samples a bag, vehicle or parcel and reads the result on the spot. That makes the kit a good partner for walk-through metal detectors, which find metal but not residue.

• Detection method: typically trace or vapour sampling
• Alert: usually automatic, with a light and a sound on detection
• Housing: often a rugged handheld or benchtop case
• Duty: trace-level detection suited to checkpoint and baggage screening

Questions to settle before you order

Detection kits vary a lot between models, so we ask buyers a few things up front. What materials does your tender list? Will the kit be carried by patrols or fixed at a desk? What power supply and climate will it face? We then match a model and confirm its specification in writing, rather than quoting a generic sheet.

Buyers often also ask for operator training notes and a list of spare consumables. Tell us what your team needs, and we state what can ship with the kit and what cannot.

Supply and export

The kit is held in stock or made to order, and it ships in seaworthy export crates. We supply importers, distributors and tender winners in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and more than 60 other countries, and we quote on EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF terms to your port.
