The IDEX™ SERIES OF EXPLOSIVES IDENTIFIERS each identify only one category of explosive or precursor.

The IDEX™ SERIES OF EXPLOSIVES IDENTIFIERS are designed to identify visible amounts of material through a colour change on a sampler tip. IDEX™ will detect/identify HOME MADE EXPLOSIVES precursors.

IDEX™ was designed for military personnel, police, and customs agents to easily identify found substances that might be used to manufacture HOME MADE EXPLOSIVES (HME).
Models in the IDEX™ SERIES OF EXPLOSIVES IDENTIFIERS would generally be used to:

  • Test found substances, visible to the naked eye, when particular explosives/precursors are of concern
  • Back-up sniffer or bench-top instruments to clear or verify alarms
  • Back-up screening kits such as FFI’s E.L.I.T.E.™ series of colorimetric detection kits

Every IDEX™EXPLOSIVE TESTER is packaged in a convenient, disposable (and recyclable) plastic tube that’s durable yet easy to open and is easily carried in a pant or shirt pocket – several can fit into a pants pocket and ten or more into a cargo pocket.

Each IDEX™EXPLOSIVE TESTER is a stand-alone, disposable, colourimetric test kit that uses chemical reagents – no ancillary equipment is required for operation. Reagents are fully contained inside each tester and the user is not exposed to any of the chemical reagents during operation.

The operators can use the outer package of the IDEX™EXPLOSIVE TESTER to take a forensic sample of found material. Each IDEX™EXPLOSIVE TESTER includes a forensics label on for operators to record data such as GPS location, data, time, etc. Here’s a summary of IDEX™ Series’ features:
