Narcotics & Explosive Trace Detection

Trace detection for both explosives and narcotics is a necessity with today’s heightened threat of terrorism. Security professionals at nuclear power plants, embassies, high-risk facilities, transportation and government agencies have been using trace detectors for many years. Our trace detection devices can be used to detect both explosives and narcotics, as part of a sound security strategy to help protect the public and vital infrastructure from security threats.

Detecting trace amounts of narcotics or explosives can make all the difference in organized crime and terrorism investigations. Morpho develops cutting-edge technologies to make these solutions accessible and affordable to police forces around the world.

Organized crime and terrorism investigations often depend on law enforcement’s ability to detect trace amounts of narcotics and explosives on people, money or at crime scenes. However, the methods available for this analysis typically involve high transport and personnel costs, as well as delays caused by external processing.

To meet these costly and time consuming challenges, Morpho has developed cost-effective tools for fast and precise trace detection, performed directly in the field or at police stations. With our sophisticated mobile trace detection technology, police can keep narcotics out of public places and take their investigations further, faster.

The Itemiser 3 Enhanced is the first trace detector in the world to simultaneously detect positive and negative ions, enabling the detection of a broad range of explosives and narcotics. Detection of both positive and negative ions allows for effective identification from a single sample. It delivers fast, simultaneous explosives and narcotics detection in a package that is ergonomic and portable.
