Hergex® 1000 & Hergex® 2000 Explosives Detection Kits
Wescom Defence supplies the hergex® 1000 and hergex® 2000, for explosives detection. Designed to identify high-energy substances quickly and reliably, these unique kits offer safety and security in various operational scenarios.
APPLICATION
A simple test stick is sufficient to detect dangerous high-energy substances quickly and reliably. For the most common and highly sensitive, home-made explosive TATP, the substance does not even need to be touched. The gas phase above the tiny crystals is sufficient to detect this peroxide-based explosive within seconds.
