Alternative/ETD Screening

Explosive Trace Detection ETD offers an alternative method for shipments which are unable to pass by x-ray screening. We are able to offer this unique screening methodology by operating an IONSCAN 500DT ETD machine which is desktop-based and able to identify a wide range of military, commercial and homemade explosives threats. Ideal for the out of gauge difficult items needing a security screening.
