Border & Customs Security
Definitive Trace Detection for the Modern Frontline of Border Protection.
Border officers face a rapidly evolving landscape where synthetic drugs and concealed explosives are designed to evade legacy screening systems. 1st Detect provides a decisive advantage by bringing forensic-grade, low-pressure mass spectrometry to border checkpoints and intake centers. Our field-ready systems identify emerging analogs at trace levels, replacing presumptive guesswork with molecular certainty. By delivering rapid, evidence-quality results on-site, we enable teams to act confidently, protect personnel from accidental exposure, and disrupt trafficking networks without interrupting the flow of legitimate commerce.
Customs Inspections
Improve the efficiency of customs operations by quickly screening goods and packages for narcotics and explosives. Our technology delivers definitive molecular identification in a single operational step, maintaining throughput in high-volume environments. By reducing the false alarms that slow down commerce, customs agencies can focus resources on verified threats.
Narcotics Interdiction
Modern interdiction demands speed and certainty. 1st Detect enables teams to confirm narcotics in minutes, expanding search authority and protecting officers from accidental exposure. With real-time identification of fentanyl and emerging synthetics, teams can act decisively, follow the trace to the source, and dismantle criminal networks with science-backed intelligence.
Force Protection
The safety of security personnel depends on understanding the threat before exposure occurs. 1st Detect identifies invisible, molecular risks at the point of action, providing early warning of highly toxic synthetic opioids like nitazenes and fentanyl. Our rugged, field-validated systems are designed to perform in austere environments, ensuring mission readiness and personnel safety on the frontline.
Evidence & Prosecution
Mass spectrometry is the gold standard of evidence. 1st Detect provides clear, forensic-quality identification on-site that supports immediate enforcement actions and subsequent prosecution. This capability ensures that dangerous compounds are not only intercepted but also documented with the scientific rigor required by the legal system.
