Rapid Chemical Threat Identification for HAZMAT Teams
The Serstech Arx mkII delivers non-contact identification of explosives precursors, toxic industrial chemicals, and unknown substances — keeping responders at a safe standoff distance.
Unknown Chemicals Demand Instant Answers
HAZMAT teams and bomb squads face a critical challenge: identifying unknown substances quickly enough to make life-safety decisions, without putting personnel in direct contact with potentially lethal materials.
Traditional identification methods require sample collection, lab submission, and hours or days of wait time. The Serstech Arx mkII delivers confirmed identification in under 60 seconds — from a safe distance, through packaging, without opening containers.
Built for the Most Demanding HAZMAT Scenarios
Standoff Detection
Identify threats without direct contact. Point the Arx mkII at sealed containers, bags, or suspicious packages and get a confirmed ID without opening them.
Results in Under 60 Seconds
Rapid spectral analysis delivers confirmed identification in the field — critical when every second counts in a live HAZMAT incident.
Explosives & Precursor Library
Onboard library covers IED precursors, military explosives, oxidizers, toxic industrial chemicals, and chemical warfare agent simulants — 10,000+ substances.
Toxic Industrial Chemicals
Identify chlorine, ammonia, acids, solvents, and other TICs commonly encountered at industrial accident scenes or deliberate release incidents.
Incident Documentation
Every scan generates a timestamped, GPS-tagged PDF report via ChemDash — essential for incident command, after-action review, and legal proceedings.
Mixture & Contamination Detection
Identify multi-component mixtures and contaminated samples — critical for improvised explosive devices and complex chemical incidents.
Operational Use Cases
IED & Explosives Response
Identify explosive compounds and precursor chemicals at suspicious package calls, post-blast scenes, and clandestine lab discoveries without direct sample handling.
Industrial Accident Response
Rapidly identify unknown spills, leaks, and releases at industrial facilities — giving incident commanders the information needed to establish safe perimeters and select appropriate PPE.
Suspicious Package Screening
Screen mail, parcels, and packages for chemical threats at government facilities, courthouses, and critical infrastructure without opening or disturbing the item.
Clandestine Lab Investigation
Identify precursor chemicals, solvents, and finished products at illicit drug manufacturing sites — protecting investigators from unknown chemical exposures.
