Aviation Security
Delivering Laboratory-Grade Precision to the Frontline of Aviation Security and Global High-Throughput Screening.
Aviation security environments demand the perfect balance of screening speed and detection certainty. 1st Detect eliminates traditional compromises by bringing laboratory-grade mass spectrometry directly to the checkpoint and cargo bay. Our field-ready systems provide definitive molecular identification of trace explosives and narcotics, delivering actionable intelligence that keeps operations moving without sacrificing accuracy. Built for high-throughput missions, 1st Detect technology achieves near-zero false alarms and features an adaptive threat library to stay ahead of emerging risks. We provide the certainty required to protect lives, infrastructure, and global commerce.
Passenger Screening
Passenger checkpoints depend on speed and certainty. 1st Detect leverages mass spectrometry to deliver definitive molecular identification, significantly reducing delays. Our technology achieves near zero false alarm rates with an unlimited detection library while maintaining high throughput. This capability aligns with the future of aviation security by delivering the precision regulators demand while ensuring the operational flow airports require.
Air Cargo
Cargo operations cannot afford expensive false alarms or delays. Using mass spectrometry, 1st Detect delivers reliable explosive detection with near zero false positives and an unlimited detection library. Certified for TSA air-cargo screening and built for high-volume environments, the TRACER 1000 keeps pallets moving, protects revenue, and meets the industry's most demanding performance standards.
Adaptive Threat Readiness
The security landscape is not static; it evolves as quickly as new chemical threats are synthesized. 1st Detect provides a future-proof solution with an expandable threat library that adapts to emerging explosives and narcotics without requiring hardware overhauls. This capability ensures that airports and cargo facilities stay ahead of tomorrow’s risks—not just reacting to them. By simply updating the software library, operators can identify and classify new threats at the molecular level, protecting long-term program investments and maintaining mission readiness.
Intelligent Alarm Resolution
False alarms do more than slow down lines; they create alarm fatigue, eroding the confidence of screeners and distracting from genuine threats. 1st Detect delivers near-zero false alarm rates by utilizing definitive molecular identification rather than presumptive patterns. Our technology distinguishes between harmless background materials and actual threats in seconds, significantly reducing the secondary screening burden.
