Dry Explosives Detection Kit - Swab Tek Dry Explosives Test Kits, offer a safe and intuitive solution for field detection of explosive materials, precursors, and residues. Unlike traditional kits that rely on hazardous liquids or complex procedures, Dry Explosives Test Kit (DETK) uses a dry reagent-based format with no toxic components—making it ideal for law enforcement, customs, and institutional safety teams. Each kit includes a test swab and test strip, individually sealed for durability and portability. This bulk pack includes 20 boxes of 25 tests, totaling 500 individual kits. Each kit contains a dry test swab and reagent-based test strip, individually sealed in waterproof sachets to ensure durability and long shelf life. The three-stage protocol screens for nitroaromatics (e.g., TNT, DNT), nitrates/nitroamines/nitroesters, and oxidizers like hydrogen peroxide and chlorates—delivering clear colorimetric results without specialized training or equipment. The DETK enables users to conduct three distinct screening stages with a single kit: Stage 1 detects nitroaromatics like TNT and DNT, Stage 2 identifies nitrates, nitroamines, and nitroesters, and Stage 3 screens for oxidizers such as hydrogen peroxide and chlorates. This multi-stage capability allows for broad-spectrum detection without the need for glass ampoules, mixing agents, or pressurized sprays. The colorimetric results provide clear visual indicators, simplifying decision-making in the field. Compact and non-hazardous, Dry Explosives Test Kits are designed for maximum portability and ease of use in high-stakes environments. Their dry format eliminates the need for liquids, ampoules, or specialized handling—making them ideal for mobile teams, rapid response units, and institutional safety protocols. Whether stored in a glove compartment, tactical vest, or school safety kit, these kits are always ready for deployment.
