Nitro-Pen Test Results (Video Demonstration)
Detection of 100K Nanograms of TNT (Example 1)
Test was performed by U.S. Military Personnel during evaluation of the Nitro-Pen and other detectors available in ChemSee’s Detection Kits for Explosives and Explosive Precursors.
* Green / purple color indicates the presence of TNT.
Detection of 100K Nanograms of TNT (Example 2)
Test was performed by U.S. Military Personnel.
* Green / purple color indicates the presence of TNT.
Detection of Ammonium Nitrate
Test was performed by U.S. Military Personnel.
* Pink / purple color indicates the presence of Ammonium Nitrate.
Detection of RDX (Nitramine Explosive, Example 1)
Test was performed by U.S. Military Personnel.
* Pink / purple color indicates the presence of RDX & other Nitramines.
Detection of RDX (Nitramine Explosive, Example 2)
Test was performed by U.S. Military Personnel.
* Pink / purple color indicates the presence of RDX & other Nitramines.
On-The-Spot Test Results (Video Demonstration)
Detection of Ammonium Nitrate using the On-The-Spot
Test was performed in ChemSee / Appealing Products, Inc.’s laboratory.
* The Pink color formation on Side B of the detector indicates that inorganic nitrates are present.
Verifier Test Results (Video Demonstration)
Detection of Acetone, Mineral Spirits & Peroxide
Test was performed by U.S. Military Personnel.
* Red bands indicate detection of acetone and mineral spirits. Black band indicates detection of peroxide.
Detection of Mineral Spirits
Test was performed by U.S. Military Personnel.
* Red band indicates detection of mineral spirits.
Detection of Acetone, Mineral Spirits & Peroxide
Test was performed by U.S. Military Personnel.
* Red bands indicate detection of acetone and mineral spirits. Black band indicates detection of peroxide.
Acid Test (Video Demonstration)
Detection of Sulfuric Acid
Test was performed in ChemSee / Appealing Products, Inc.’s laboratory. Note that the indicator strip is stable when exposed to Sulfuric Acid.
* Yellow color formation indicates a strong acid (e.g. Sulfuric Acid) is present.
