The hergex® explosives detection methods open up new dimensions indetection. A simple test stick is sufficient to detect dangerous high-energy substances quickly and reliably. In the case of the most commonly used and highly sensitive, home-made explosive TATP, the substance does not even need to be touched. The gas phase above the tiny crystals is sufficient to detect this peroxide-based explosive within seconds.

Advantages at a Glance:
 
  • Fast: Delivers results within 5 seconds
  • Lightweight: Lightweight, easy to transport.
  • Ideally suited for applications with remote-controlled robots and drones.
  • Easy to use, easy to transport: All test components are small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, for example.

Areas of application

The simple, sensitive and reliable hergex® explosives detection methods give you a better basis for decision-making in dangerous situations. The hergex test is already used in numerous applications, for example:

  • Explosive ordnance disposal services
  • Detection of ammunition remnants, for example from the 2nd World War
  • Detection and search of illegal laboratories
  • House searches
  • Personal protection
  • Forensics on site after explosions
  • Military operations
Within 5 seconds, the color of the stick changes and shows the result of the test. Everything needed to perform the test is contained in a handy and lightweight container that fits comfortably in a jacket pocket. No power connection, no electronics, no warm-up time, no maintenance and no professional training required.
