New technology detects liquid explosives
13 September 2006

New technology has been developed by Trace Guard Technologies which can detect minute traces of explosives in both liquid and solid form.

The development should offer a boost to airport security and significantly reduce the need to check passenger bags and contents of bottles.

Marketed as CarrySafe, the technology is a development from Trace Guard's original CompactSafe product, which can detect explosive substances in electronic equipment including laptops and cameras.

Having passed recent tests TraceGuard is committed to bringing the technology to national airports.

'We are moving ahead with our strategic plan and business model more confident than ever,' said Ehud Ganani, chairman and chief executive officer of TraceGuard.

'TraceGuard's technology will address ever-present and continued threats to aviation and a host of other industries that are threatened by terrorism.'

The company's driving aim is to improve screening and detection of hazardous materials, including explosives, biological substances, narcotics and other potentially dangerous threats.

TraceGuard's headquarters are based in New York but a research and development centre is also coordinated in Tel Aviv, Israel.
