IDEX HME Colour Test Kit
IDEX HME Colour Test Kit is an explosives identifiers kit in which each identify only one category of explosive or precursor instead of testing for a broad range of explosives. The IDEX Series are designed to identify visible amounts of explosives through a colour change on a sampler tip – detecting/identifying bulk explosives rather than trace amounts of explosives.
Models in the IDEX Series would generally be used to:
- Test found substances, visible to the naked eye, when particular explosives/precursors are of concern
- Back-up sniffer or bench-top instruments to clear or verify alarms
- Back-up screening kits such as Field Forensic’s ELITE series of colourimetric detection kits
Every IDEX tester is packaged in a convenient, disposable (and recyclable) plastic tube that is durable yet easy to open and is easily carried in a pant or shirt pocket – in fact several can fit into a pants pocket and ten or more into a cargo pocket.
