Abstract:
A chemical test system includes a elastic collapsible tank to maintain constant chemical delivery rate of chemical inside the collapsible tank; and a test swipe including a base and one or more swipe pad positioned on the base to receive chemical for detecting an explosive or drug compound from the collapsible tank. Alternatively, the reservoir can have a solid container that is suitably pressurized to ensure constant chemical fluid flow from the reservoir.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to automatically detect the presence of a substance on a test swipe by capturing a background image of the test swipe; applying one or more test chemicals to a test swipe; adjusting the temperature of the test swipe to a predetermined temperature range; controlling a variable speed fan to avoid fogging the camera's lens; capturing an in-situ image of the test swipe after the application of chemical at the predetermined temperature range; subtracting the background image from the in-situ image; generating a difference value from the two images; and searching a known database to identify the substance.
Abstract:
A tester to detect the presence of a target substance includes a housing that can be mounted on a shipping container; a chemical reservoir insertable into the housing; a disc or an automated cartridge containing test filter swipes adapted to receive particles or vapor, and a chemical from the chemical reservoir, the test swipe including one or more chemically treated pads; a camera to capture an image from the test swipe; a processor coupled to the camera to process the image to detect the target substance; and a transmitter coupled to the processor to transmit a test result to a remote computer.

Abstract:
A portable chemical analytical apparatus includes a piezoelectric dispenser that deposits chemical(s) on a test swipe having a base; a chemically treated pad containing the swiped sample positioned in a white zone above the base; and a tab attached to one side of the base. The apparatus includes a heater to warm the test swipe to a predetermined temperature; a clamp to secure the test swipe to the heater; one or more pumps to dispense one or more chemicals onto the test swipe from a disposable cartridge; a fan to remove chemical vapors rising a predetermined distance from the test swipe; and a camera to capture an image of the test swipe for un-biased automated analysis, and displayed on an LCD screen.
