QS-H150 ™

Handheld Explosives
Trace Detector

Simultaneous, real-time detection

of explosives particulates and vapors BENEFITS
with or without physical contact
› Detects explosives in seconds

The QS-H150 is a handheld explosives detector that rapidly detects and identifies trace
› Non-radioactive ion source
amounts of a wide variety of military, commercial, and homemade explosives (HMEs). › Choice of sampling modes:

The QS-H150’s innovative design includes a patented heated vortex collector and
› Simultaneous non-contact
particulate and vapor detection
patented non–radioactive ion mobility spectrometry technology. These provide
operational advantages that make the detector highly effective in real world situations › Wipe sampling
– advantages proven time and again in customer evaluations. › inCal automatic calibration
Operation and maintenance expenses are extremely low with the QS-H150. › Rapid clear-down
Consumables costs are greatly minimized. Routine maintenance consists only › Low total cost of ownership
of cleaning, using common supplies and desiccant replacement as required. › One-handed operation
No radioactive materials are used in the QS-H150, so there are no associated
certification, licensing, inspection, testing or decommissioning costs.

The QS-H150 is portable, easy-to-use, and offers the choice of collecting samples
directly from a surface or using sample traps. The system’s real-time detection
algorithm delivers fast results, alerting the operator as soon as a threat is detected.
It also minimizes system contamination, allowing the QS-H150 to be ready for the
next sample in seconds, even after a positive detection.

The presence of a threat is indicated by both visible and audible alarms, with the
substance identification displayed on the integrated LCD screen. A standard monitor
and USB keyboard may be connected at any time for access to spectrogram display
and analysis tools, administrative tools, and diagnostics.
The patented automatic calibration system, inCal™, prevents errors that could
result from an uncalibrated instrument. The QS-H150 monitors its environment,
senses changes that would affect its analysis, and recalibrates accordingly. No user
intervention, no calibration consumables, and no system down-time required.
