This helps keep security teams ahead of evolving threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Portability &#038; Flexibility:<\/strong> Weighing only 12.99 kg, the lightweight, ergonomic design ensures ease of transport and setup. The built-in battery allows for up to one hour of uninterrupted operation, enabling rapid redeployment to different locations without the need for downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Faster Clear Downs:<\/strong> The new desorber design enhances sample introduction efficiency, reducing analysis times to under 8 seconds, making it ideal for high-traffic environments like airports, borders, and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>User-Friendly<\/strong>: Automatic internal calibration and push-button maintenance reduce the need for operator intervention, while the on-board printer and data logging system make it easy to record and retrieve results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non-Radioactive Ionization: The Itemiser\u00ae 5X uses a non-radioactive ionisation source, eliminating the need for complex licensing, transportation restrictions, and annual wipe tests, simplifying deployment and reducing operational costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ideal for Multiple Markets:<\/strong> The Itemiser\u00ae 5X is perfect for regulated and non-regulated markets, including: Airports &#038; Cargo Screening, Customs and Border Control, Prisons, Law Enforcement Critical Infrastructure, Event Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about the Itemiser\u00ae 5X or to schedule a demo, please contact us at info@Scanna-msc.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>UK market only<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8807,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news-category":[],"news-tag":[],"class_list":["post-7815","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Launch of Itemiser 5x Explosives and Narcotics Detector |\u2026<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Read Scanna news: Launch of Itemiser 5x Explosives and Narcotics Detector.
