The EX-DETECT, Model XD-2, is a handheld, colorimetric explosives screening device that weighs less than 1 1/2 pounds and detects more than 40 of the most common explosives in less than 10 seconds for many and 20 seconds for the rest with no false positives. The XD-2 from Spectrex Corp., has no calibration down time, three different power sources, and is not affected by moisture, heat, altitude, cigarette smoke or any petroleum products. It is designed for the first responder -- handheld, rugged, fast and easy to use for the detection on primary and secondary explosives, gun propellant formulations, ANFO and black powder.
