TY - CONF A1 - Biyikal, Mustafa T1 - Development of a Handheld Device for the Trace Detection of Explosives N2 - With the help of the EXIST research transfer the startup True Detection System (TDS) will develop a portable and easy-to-use handheld device based on chemical-optical sensors that can detect the smallest traces of various explosives and markers (e.g. TNT, C4, ANFO, TATP, DMDNB, etc.) and pure salts (e.g. potassium nitrate) reliably and without major cross-sensitivities. The device has been developed over the last 10 years at the Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing (BAM) in cooperation with an SME. Within the next 18 months, a laboratory prototype will now be converted into a commercial device.
