EGIS Can Identify Explosives

The EGIS system can detect the presence of dangerous explosives - and identify their presence - all within seconds.

The EGIS system consists of two components. The portable analyzer unit features patented high-speed chromatography developed specifically for explosives detection. This technology ensures accuracy for a full range of explosives, even at extremely low detection levels. The convenient hand-held sampling device can collect vapors from volatile explosives, such as nitroglycerine and TNT, as well as trace particles from non-volatile explosives, such as RDX and PETN. The EGIS system can detect the presence of dangerous explosives - and identify what explosives are present - all within seconds. Locations where EGIS is used include Glasgow, Scotland and Zurich, Switzerland. At Rafiah, the Israel-Gaza crossover point. EGIS' sensitivity to many explosives helps ensure maximum security at that Israeli border crossings.
