Houston, TX. -
Tuesday, February 01, 2011 -
DetectaChem, a supplier of hand-held explosive detection
solutions, today announced that its Seeker XDU is being used by the
Arlington Bomb Squad to detect for explosives during Super Bowl
XLV, on Feb. 6, taking place at Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington
Texas.
To ensure the highest level of public safety for the more than
100,000 attendees at Super Bowl XLV, the Arlington Bomb Squad is
deploying the latest technology to monitor and manage security,
including potential terrorist activity. DetectaChem's Seeker XDU
System performs a key role in aiding first responders with threats
involving potential explosives throughout and around the venue.
The Seeker XDU is a compact, lightweight, highly portable,
hand-held device for detecting trace levels of explosives. Unlike
other competing devices that are less portable and
unreliable, the Seeker XDU technology allows users to quickly
identify the presence of explosives through the use of cutting edge
diagnostic swipe collection cards and the system's automated
optical evaluation technology.
"DetectaChem is proud to be assisting the Arlington Bomb Squad
for the security of Super Bowl XLV, a worldwide event," said Mark
Kisner, CEO of Houston-based DetectaChem. "The need for
reliable explosives detection that is deployable as a portable
device for on-site use by Federal, State and Local agencies is
becoming more evident every day. The Seeker is poised to be an
essential tool in the war on terror as a trace detector of
explosives."
