Chapte Chapterr 1 Device Overview

Theory of o f Operation Operation The Itemiser ® DX device operates by first trapping traces of vapors or particles given off or left behind by explosives and narcotics. These trapped samples are evaporated and drawn into the detection system where they are analyzed a technology detection detection system that provides almost ™ one hundred times more sensitivity than any previous by detector. The detection technique is known as ITMS , which operates by ionizing the target vapors and then subsequently measuring the mobility of the ions in an electric field. The mobility of each target ion differs sufficiently so that each is uniquely identified. Samples are collected on clean/new traps by hand wiping suspect surfaces with the trap. Any vapors or microscopic particles of target materials collected on the sampled trap are released into the detection system by  placing the sampled trap trap into the detection slot on the desorber. desorber. Desorbed vapors are drawn into into the Itemiser ® DX detection system by the action of a small sampling pump. The sampled air leaving the desorber is drawn through a mesh screen  screen that allows target vapors to permeate into the detection system. Most dust and dirt are excluded by the mesh screen, thus protecting the detector from contamination. The sample molecules that pass through the mesh screen are carried into the detector on a stream of clean, dry air (gas). This gas flows through an ionization chamber whose walls are lined with a Ni-63 radioactive foil; this foil emits low-energy beta particles. As the gas proceeds through the chamber, both positive and negative ions are formed. There is no measurable level of radiation emitted by the detector itself, thus allowing for completely safe operation. The electric field in the detector’s ionization chamber is at most times zero, but at 33 ms intervals, short pulses are applied across the chamber. This pulsed electric field forces the sample, now in an ionized gas state, to be  pulsed out out of the ionization chamber and proceed proceed toward the collector electrode. The speed of the ion is related to its size; thus, a measurement of this speed makes substance identification possible. The collector and related electronics pass a constant stream of analog information from the detector to the device computer for digital conversion, analysis, and identification. Selectivity and Sensitivity are gained from the use of the mesh screen in the sampled air stream before the detector and the reverse air flow in the detector. detector. Many organic vapors are transmitted through the mesh screen and produce unwanted responses in the detector. These responses are eliminated by the addition of a trace of dopant vapor in the gas stream entering the detector. detector. The dopant is chosen such that it steals charge from unwanted ions, and in the absence of explosives (negative ion mode) produces a single-respons single-responsee peak in the spectrum. The spectrum is known as the plasmagram. When explosive vapors enter the detector, they have a very strong charge affinity and steal charge even from the dopant ions. The device software is designed specifically for the Itemiser ® DX device and includes a user-friendly graphical interface and produces fast and unambiguous results.

The calibration traps have a shelf life of 7.5 months. The verification traps have a shelf life of 6 months. Check the Best Used By date on the bottom of the can to ensure they are at their best and thus provide an accurate calibration. The sample traps have a shelf life of 12 months. Again, check the Best Used By By date on the bottom of the can to ensure they are at their best and thus provide an accurate sample collection. After removing traps from the container, replace the container cover immediately immediately.. This will prevent the calibration and verification traps from dissipating and keeps the sample traps clean and free of contamination. To ensure accurate calibration and verification, both the calibration and verification traps can only be used once and then must be discarded. The sample trap may be used for up to Ten (10) sampling events as long as none of the samples causes an alarm and the trap is not visibly dirty dirty,, torn, or damaged. A sampling event consists of swiping up to five surfaces, and then placing the trap into the desorber for analysis. If a trap causes an alarm, with or when it is sample dirty ortrap. damaged, do not use the trap for another sample. Discard it and resume sampling a clean IMPORTANT: Store all calibration calibration and verification traps in a cool dry location to ensure shelf life is not compromised

The sample trap may be used for up to Ten (10) sampling events as long as none of the samples causes an alarm and the trap is not visibly dirty, dirty, torn, or damaged. A sampling event consists of swiping up to five surfaces, and then placing the trap into the desorber for analysis. If a trap causes an alarm, or when it is dirty or damaged, do not use the trap for another sample. Discard it and resume sampling with a clean sample trap. CAUTION: To prevent contamination, replace the sample trap container lid immediately after opening.
