Do RS DYNAMICS instruments suffer from contamination issues ?

No. One of the common issues with traditional explosive trace detection systems – especially those using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS)—is internal contamination. These systems often trap microscopic residues of explosives inside their sampling paths, drift tubes, or filters. Over time, this leads to false positives, reduced accuracy, and the need for frequent, often complex cleaning and recalibration.

RS DYNAMICS devices are specifically engineered to avoid these problems. Thanks to their advanced high temperature design, explosive particles do not accumulate inside the instrument. There’s no need to disassemble or decontaminate the system between scans or during longterm usage.

This makes RS DYNAMICS devices especially reliable for field operations, where speed, repeatability, and low maintenance costs are crucial. Users can perform repeated measurements without any risk from contamination even under high expositions of highly volatiles compounds.
