The product line includes the SVG 2, which represents the new generation of nuclear radiation detectors. The SVG 2 is a hand-held, hardened micro-processor controlled radiation detector, based on state-of-the-art semiconductor technology. It is equipped with integrated sensors for gamma and neutron radiation detection, an external personal dosimeter, and an external a/b-g probe. A broad range for g-dose rate is covered (10 nGy/h - 20 Gy/h).

The Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer (CBMS) is a military ruggedized mobile ion trap mass spectrometer for the identification of chemical warfare agents and the classification biological warfare agents. The CBMS, equipped with a virtual impactor and pyrolyzer, is capable of detecting and classifying biological warfare agents in three (3) minutes. The CBMS is used in the US Army's Biological Integrated Detection System or BIDS.

The EM 640/640S is a mobile mass spectrometer for fast on site detection of hazardous compounds from air, soil, and liquids. The rugged GC/MS system is designed for fast and simple on site assessment of chemical catastrophes and environmental accidents involving organic compounds.

The Rapid Alarm and Identification Devices (RAID) use state of the art IMS technology in detecting chemical warfare agents. The RAID instruments are hand held, portable and mounted chemical warfare agent and toxic chemical compound detectors with automatic alarm functions. These detectors can be operated in the field, on vehicles or ships, and in buildings. A mounted version, the RAID-S in the picture, is designed for long term operation as a trace gas detector in buildings, even as a detector for high volume air conditioning and heating systems.

The RAPID is a long distance detection system for chemical defense, security, disaster management, and pollution control. RAPID is based on infrared technology and has the ability to scan the horizon automatically. It can remotely identify most known chemical warfare agents, as well as many important toxic industrial chemicals, over distances of several kilometers. This rugged detector may be mounted on several platforms, and can even detect on the move. The RAPID mounted on a tripod is pictured left.

The Mobile Mass Spectrometer (MM1) for reconnaissance vehicles is an extremely rugged and field proven GC/MS system for chemical warfare agent detection. The MM1 is the key component in NBC reconnaissance vehicles for no less than the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea. The MM1 played a key role in Operation Desert Storm.
