T3 Advanced Chemical Detector

Next-Generation Portable & Fixed-Site Chemical Detection

T3 Advanced Chemical Detector front view

The T3 Advanced Chemical Detector is a next-generation broadband chemical detector capable of detecting more hazardous chemicals at ultra-trace levels than any other single detector in its class. It delivers sub-ppm sensitivity and fast response for both conventional Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs).

Powered by Rapid Thermal Modulation Ion Spectrometry (RTMIS)—enabled by a Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometer (FAIMS) operated at ultra-high electric fields—the T3 produces characteristic ion spectra for accurate identification, with alarm updates at 2 Hz and typical identification in under 30 seconds.

T3 leverages continuously updatable, AI-based spectral processing to expand the detection library and improve interferant rejection over time, supporting evolving mission needs from industrial hygiene and clean rooms to shipboard and battlefield deployments.
