ICx Technologies, a developer of advanced security products that counter terror-related threats, has nnounced that recent test results confirm instrumentation developed by Griffin Analytical Technologies, a business unit of ICx, is capable of detecting a variety of serious chemicals and explosives. Some of these terror threats, including the improvised explosive triacetone triperoxide (TATP), trinitrotoluene (TNT), RDX, nitroglycerin, and others, were allegedly planned for use in the recent terrorist plot in the United Kingdom. Griffin's recent advancements in the detection of peroxides such as TATP, other easily manufactured explosives, chemical warfare agents, and toxic industrial chemicals bring the company one step closer to providing a solution for new terror threats.
