SENTINEL II

The challenge of detecting threats being carried by a per- son onto public transportation systems and into public and private buildings is one that is made easier with the IONSCAN SENTINEL II from Smiths Detection. Only the SENTINEL II walk-through portal offers true head-to toe, non-contact screening of people for trace explosive or narcotic sub- stances Designed specifically for this challenge and to reduce the need for time-consuming physi- cal searches, the SENTINEL II uses gentle puffs of air to dislodge particles trapped on hair, the body, clothing and shoes. Aided by gravity anda downward airflow, these particles are then directed into the SENTINEL II for analysis. Trace amounts of more than different 40 explosives or drugs are detected and identified in seconds. The high throughput screening of up to 6 people per minute is made possible through the use of IONSCAN technology combined with pre-concentration technology developed by Sandia National Laboratories, licensed exclu- sively to Smiths Detection Operator interface is through a color touch screen display with results displayed in an easy- tounderstand fashion.
