Security Applications
Problem:
Dangerous deficiencies exist in detecting certain hazardous and prohibited substances being smuggled through airports and mass transit hubs worldwide Rapid in-field identification of explosives, chemical, and biological warfare agents, toxic chemicals, and narcotics is increasingly critical for first responders, law enforcement and military personnel, and security check-point agents Explosives, narcotics and other prohibited or potentially dangerous substances within sealed bottles, plastic bags and other common carry-on containers can easily pass undetected through today's sniff or vapor detection technologies Suspicious powders and unknown semi-solids within personal carry-on containers such as make-up kits cannot be identified on-site without deploying specialized haz-mat personnel Security personnel endanger themselves and innocent bystanders by having to open and sub-sample unknown containers in public

Solution: The IDEX-1000
Can identify a hazardous or dangerous substance without risk of direct contact with unknown or suspicious substances Can "see" through clear or colored glass and/or plastic to identify substances without having to break a bottle's seal or "pull the cork" Precludes the need to deploy expensive haz-mat teams or waiting for time intensive fixed based laboratory results Rugged and highly portable handheld unit for use where needed Contains an expandable library of potential substances including narcotics, explosives, toxic chemicals, and other dangerous or prohibited substances

By using the IDEX-1000 the security agent has immediately identified a hazardous substance on site without having to open the bottle, deploying a haz-mat team or evacuating the area. Other industrial uses include:
	Two Sealed Identical harmless bottles of clear vodka?	IDEX-1000 testing a bottle of "vodka."
		A close up of the screen reveals that the bottle actually contains lighter fluid.
