Bruker Corporation has announced that Zurich Airport has ordered 60 of its latest Bruker DE-tector flex explosives and narcotics trace detectors, to help enhance security measures at the Swiss hub.
The installations are planned over a 24-month period in 2024 and 2025 to enhance the screening of passengers at Switzerland’s busiest airport.
The next-generation, high-performance Bruker DE-tector flex systems are intended to replace earlier explosive trace detectors (ETD) at Zurich Airport.
First-generation Bruker ETD detectors are already deployed at Geneva Airport in Switzerland.
Bruker DE-tector flex
The Bruker DE-tector flex is a next-generation transportable explosives and narcotics trace detector. Airport security workers use the machines by wiping surfaces with multi-use, disposable swabs, and inserting them into the DE-tector flex.
Traces of two classes of explosive and narcotics substances can then be identified automatically within seconds.
Andreas Kamlowski, president of the Bruker Optics Division, said: “We are very pleased to have been selected for the next-generation security project at Zurich Airport to provide innovative technologies and solutions that support the safety and security of the public and the aviation industry.”
