As security threats evolve, so does trace detection technology. At GSX 2024, David Spada, Senior Manager of Instrument Sales for the Americas at Rapiscan Systems, presents the Itemiser 5X, a next-generation system designed to detect nanogram-level particles of explosives and narcotics. The system offers portability, automatic calibration, and non-radioactive ionization, addressing modern security needs. Certified by TSA ACSTL, approved for ECAC passenger and cargo screening, and certified in China with CAAC, the Itemiser 5X meets a wide range of international security standards.

How does the Itemiser 5X’s portability and efficiency revolutionize the field of trace detection?

According to Spada, the flexibility of the system, especially with its portable design and non-radioactive ionization, makes it ideal for a range of applications, from aviation to law enforcement. He emphasizes the ease of use and transportability, highlighting how it can quickly adapt to changing security environments.

“If my conditions of operation change or I need to move my checkpoint, I can take my Itemiser to another location, plug it back in, and continue operating immediately without shutting down or re-warming the system,” Spada said.
