Bruker Corporation (NASDAQ: BRKR) today announced that it has
secured a contract for the supply of one hundred (100) units of the
DE-tector™ explosives trace detection (ETD) system for use
at selected airports in Germany, including at the international
Frankfurt Airport (FRA). This contract award followed the
DE-tector system having successfully met the new European
Civil Aviation Conference's (ECAC) Common Evaluation Process of
Security Equipment (CEP) for airport checkpoint screening of
passengers and baggage. The DE-tector was the first
European-built explosives trace detection instrument to pass the
demanding ECAC testing protocol, established to set standards for
the performance of security equipment across the forty four member
nations of ECAC.

Dr. Norbert Kloepper, Head of the Bruker Detection Division ETD
business, remarked: “Following an international tender, we are very
pleased that the Germany Ministry of the Interior has selected
Bruker’s DE-tector system, as well as our proposal for
service and support. We are looking forward to delivering the
systems and meeting our client’s expectations.”
The DE-tector is a benchtop explosives trace detection
instrument based on Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS). Using a
patented, non-radioactive HEPI™-source, the DE-tector
lowers the administrative and compliance burden on our customers
significantly. Thanks to pioneering developments in IMS, this new
system provides exceptional trace detection capabilities whilst
maintaining an exceptionally low false alarm rate. An intuitive
‘traffic light’ user interface and minimized user interaction
resulting from the incorporation of automatic calibration, along
with a 12-month maintenance cycle, reduces the total cost of
training, maintenance and operation.
