Key Advantages

  • Dual-Polarity Detection – Simultaneously identifies positive and negative ions for broader coverage.

  • Safe Ionization – Uses a non-radioactive source, eliminating radiation-related concerns.

  • Cost-Effective Operation – No expensive consumables required.

  • Broad Detection Range – Recognizes common threats, including peroxide-based explosives and other hazardous chemicals.

  • Expandable Substance Database – Open, upgradable database to adapt to emerging threats.

Typical Applications

  • Inspection of vehicles, cargo, and individuals at customs or border points.

  • Environmental safety checks at sensitive facilities or public areas.

  • On-site screening during law enforcement and security operations.

  • Analysis of materials in forensic and criminology labs.

  • Industrial safety assessments in research and manufacturing facilities.

Operational Versatility

The Kerber-T is lightweight, easy to operate, and can be used by a single operator in both stationary setups and mobile field conditions. It is suitable for quick deployment during inspections or as part of continuous monitoring in specialized laboratories.
