I SCAN IMS Hand-Held Trace & Vapors
Detector for Explosives & Narcotics
LDS 3500-i
I-SCAN designed to detect trace quantities of low-volatile organic substances, LDS’ I-SCAN provides a
handheld sensor, detecting explosives, drugs and toxic substances in the air around controlled objects, on
the surface of different objects or on fingers and clothes.
The I-SCAN can be used when inspecting territories, premises, mobile objects and cargo in checkpoints,
during customs and border control, in expert criminology laboratories of different departments, analytical
laboratories of industrial enterprises and scientific research organizations.
The scope of application for the detector:
• Vehicle, cargo and people inspection at customs control and military checkpoint
• Territories and objects inspection by environmental control services
• Suspects inspection by law-enforcement officials etc.
The I-SCAN is operated and serviced by a single person and is designed for work both in field environment
(directly at the place of control) and under conditions of stationary and mobile specialized laboratories.
I-SCAN Advantages and Benefits
Small light weight tri-mode of operation:
Explosives, Narcotics, Chemical agents
Non-radioactive ionization source
Doesn’t require high-priced expandable materials
Open database of substances with customer updating and expansion possibility
Wide range of detected chemical agents including home-made peroxide explosives

General Information
I-SCAN Detector operating software analyzes the peaks of received range of inspected substances, using
mathematical expectation (assembly average) and time dispersion, corresponding to peaks with target
substances taken from the systems’ library.
