The newly redesigned Fido X3 is the lightest and most sensitive Handheld Explosives Trace Detector on the market. With its magnesium case and splash-proof seal, the Fido's ruggedized design meets the rigorous MIL-STD 810-G specifications. The Fido X3 has an 8 hour battery, starts from cold in under 5 minutes, and clears in seconds, so you spend less time waiting and more time sampling.
BLS (Bottled Liquid Screening)
Bottled liquids scanner screening systems are used by Transportation Security Officers to detect potential liquid or gel threats which may be contained in a passenger's property. This is where the FLIR FIDO X3 comes into the picture as a very suitable tool to aid in explosives fluid/gel checks.
ETD (Explosive Trace Detection)
Explosives Trace Detection is technology used at security checkpoints to screen baggage and passengers for traces of explosives. Officers may swab a piece of carry-on or checked baggage or a passenger and then place the swab inside the ETD unit to analyze it for the presence of potential explosive residue.
Being mobile and easy to use, the FIDO X3 enables the officer to perform explosives trace detection on the move.
