Every piece of cargo that takes flight in the United States must be screened before it leaves the ground. For aviation cargo security managers, that requirement isn’t optional; it is the law. Yet, for years, compliance has come at a cost. Traditional Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) detectors have faced inherent limitations regarding false alarms, grounding shipments, and cutting into revenue. When a single alarm can delay a pallet and impact the bottom line, reliability is not a convenience; it is an operational necessity. Tracer 1000 brings the solution to the checkpoint.
Built on true, low pressure mass spectrometry, the Tracer 1000 measures the actual molecular weight of a substance. This provides a definitive molecular fingerprint.
Why This Matters for Cargo:
- Operational Certainty: Precision eliminates the guesswork. In real-world testing, the Tracer 1000 has demonstrated a near-zero false alarm rate, giving operators confidence that each alert creates actionable intelligence rather than disruption.
- Throughput & Profitability: Accuracy translates directly to speed. Fewer interruptions mean faster clearances and higher uptime.
- Future-Proof Capability: Because it utilizes the same gold-standard method used in research labs, the Tracer 1000’s expandable threat library adapts to the threat landscape with unlimited potential without worry of cross alarms due to the nature of Mass Spec technology. As new compounds emerge, software updates expand detection capability without the need to replace hardware.
Mass spectrometry is not just an upgrade; it is the foundation for the next era of aviation security. The future of trace detection is here.
