    IONSCAN 600

    Desktop Trace Detector

    The Smiths Detection IONSCAN 600 is an advanced desktop trace detector designed to detect and identify a wide array of explosive threats and illicit narcotics, including military-grade, commercial, and homemade explosives, as well as fentanyl, opioids, and synthetic cannabinoids (Spice).

    Building on the trusted IONSCAN family legacy, the IONSCAN 600 offers cutting-edge detection performance in a lightweight and portable configuration, making it ideal for checkpoints, border control, prisons, and critical infrastructure security.

    The unit features an intuitive touchscreen interface and requires minimal training, making it easy to operate in fast-paced environments. It improves operational efficiency while maintaining the highest levels of detection accuracy, even with ultra-low trace amounts of target substances. Its flexible, cost-effective design includes quick start-up, self-diagnostics, and low maintenance requirements — ensuring uptime and reliability in any mission-critical deployment. Whether in a stationary setting or part of a mobile security unit, the IONSCAN 600 delivers the speed, accuracy, and portability required by today’s security professionals.

    Features

    • Detects explosives and narcotics.

    • Non-Radioactive IMS source.

    • Small,lightweight and portable.

    • Fully operational on hot swappable batteries.

    • Easy-to-use interface requires minimum training.

    • Low cost of ownership including consumables.

    • Single-use cost effective manual swabs.

    • Meets ECAC/EU explosives detection standard for cargo and passenger screening, and certified by CAAC for aviation screening with explosives/narcotics.

    Technology

    The IONSCAN 600 has a proprietary non-radioactive ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) source, which means licensing from national nuclear regulatory agencies is not required. This allows the detector to be used without time-consuming radiation testing and administration, and enables easy license-free transport from location to location.


    Lightweight and Portable

    The compact, lightweight IONSCAN 600 is easily portable; it includes hot-swappable batteries for full operation even when mains power is not available. The unit can be relocated whilst fully operational (without any downtime) enabling it to be used in a much broader range of screening environments.


    Cost Effective

    The IONSCAN 600 is unique in working with cost-effective, single-use swabs suitable for both manual and wand sampling. These proprietary swabs are designed for efficient trace particle pick-up, reduce contamination risk and offer the most hygienic method for sampling a person’s hands.
