Critical Infrastructure Protection

Laboratory-Grade Trace Detection and Molecular Certainty for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure

Critical infrastructure requires a defensive posture that identifies threats long before they become visible. 1st Detect delivers lab-quality accuracy in field-ready systems engineered to identify explosives and hazardous chemical agents at the point of screening. By providing definitive molecular identification instead of presumptive guesswork, we eliminate the ambiguity that leads to operational delays and costly false alarms. Our technology strengthens layered security across diverse high-consequence environments, delivering the speed and certainty needed to act decisively when lives and essential operations depend on accurate detection.
Learn how 1st Detect can help with your security and defense challenges.

Facility Access Control

Protect government and commercial facilities by identifying potential explosive and chemical threats at entry points. 1st Detect integrates into existing security workflows, providing clear, actionable results with minimal disruption to personnel or visitor flow. Our field-proven systems ensure that high-value assets are protected through reliable, continuous screening of individuals and their belongings.

Mail & Package Screening

Interdict dangerous materials before they enter restricted areas by screening incoming mail and deliveries. 1st Detect provides results in seconds, allowing high-volume screening of parcels for both explosives and hazardous narcotics. Our systems utilize an expandable threat library that adapts as new smuggling methods emerge, ensuring consistent protection against evolving risks across the supply chain.

Hazardous Agent Identification

When suspicious substances are discovered, 1st Detect enables teams to confirm the threat in minutes. Our technology identifies chemical agents at the molecular level, providing the certainty required to secure a scene and protect first responders. This forensic-grade accuracy provides defendable intelligence that supports immediate intervention and subsequent enforcement actions.

Operational Readiness & Adaptation

The asymmetric nature of modern threats requires a screening posture that evolves alongside new materials. 1st Detect utilizes an expandable threat library to identify and classify emerging risks through software updates without requiring new hardware. This capability ensures that critical security infrastructure remains prepared for future challenges, protecting long-term investments as mission requirements change.
