Ahura Scientific Unveils
TruScreen
Ahura Scientific, Inc. has unveiled TruScreen™, a new security
product for the commercial aviation industry. Designed to
complement existing security measures, TruScreen rapidly and
accurately screens for potential liquid explosives. It can quickly
distinguish between threat-listed materials, such as explosive
substances and precursors, and benign substances that are safe to
carry onboard an aircraft. Lightweight and easy to use, TruScreen
can analyse through the walls of translucent glass or plastic
containers without direct contact with the substance in question. This
non-invasive screening technology helps maintain uninterrupted
passenger throughput at security checkpoints.
TruScreen is part of extensive laboratory and operational trials
globally and is now shipping with limited availability.
