KeTech - Drug and Explosives Detection Systems

KeTech Detection offers a remarkable resource of detection technology that security professionals simply cannot afford to ignore.

KeTech Detection has provided detection and security solutions to governments and businesses for more than 30 years. It is a major UK developer and supplier of systems designed to assist military and security personnel have the highest degree of awareness of potential threats from nerve agents, explosives and concealed objects and to identify for the presence of illegal drugs and contraband.

X-ray security systems and liquid scanning equipment

KeTech Detection also supplies world-leading X-ray systems and liquid scanning equipment for rapid analysis of suspicious packages. In order to ensure that clients have access to the very finest equipment and most advanced technology, KeTech acts as the UK agent for NUCTECH, Biosensor Applications and ISS.

Suspicious liquid scanner

A NUCTECH liquid scanner provides rapid analysis of suspicious liquids in a matter of seconds. Developed by leading manufacturer NUCTECH and exclusively available in the UK from KeTech Detection, this sophisticated CT scanning equipment allows rapid analysis of suspicious liquids to detect liquid explosives and identify dangerous and illegal substances in solutions.

Furthermore, this invaluable system - which does not require a highly skilled operator - allows substance analysis without the need to remove the liquid from its outer container, offering maximum protection to operatives.

Baggage and freight scanning equipment

KeTech Detection offers the class-leading NUCTECH range of baggage and freight scanning equipment for airports.

Drug and explosives detection system

BIOSENS™ DrugScanner is a unique drug and explosives detection system, available in the UK through KeTech Detection, which gives on the spot, accurate, non-invasive testing with negligible cost per test.

DrugScanner is an essential tool for customs officials, as it provides immediate identification of personal drug abuse, and trace and bulk drug and explosives detection. This ground-breaking system, based on revolutionary biotechnology (antibody) sensors, uses revolutionary biotechnology antibody sensors to provide accurate analysis from a simple skin swab or tongue swab, without the need for costly laboratory conditions or facilities.

DrugScanner does not require the presence of a skilled operator and offers virtually no false alarms / interferents, giving levels of accuracy and performance far beyond existing IMS equipment.

Infra-red sighting systems

For covert airport perimeter surveillance, KeTech’s range of sighting systems are a must. Unaffected by bright lights and providing accurate vision through smoke, mist, etc., TiV systems offer true IR (not image intensification), giving genuine 24-hour vision capability and reliability without the noise and heavy power consumption of cooled units. TiV, designed in conjunction with ISS, also provides a valuable in-built recording option, giving two hours of recording at 12.5 frames/s.

The high performance, lightweight unit – less than 1.7kg including batteries – uses commercially available batteries or an external power pack and provides man detection at approximately 20,000m. KeTech Detection can also offer a range of low-light cameras.

Handheld explosive and energetic material detector

The Ex-Detect® model XD-2 detects over 40 different explosives and energetic materials in a convenient handheld kit.

Ideal for first responders, this compact kit from KeTech provides high pictogram and low nanogram detection without the need for calibration or down time between samples and is not hampered by any background interferences. User-friendly reagents easily analyse most samples, even when taken from liquid, providing search teams with immediate results.
