The Mistral 1530 EXPRAY 3 is a specialized aerosol-based field reagent designed for the detection of inorganic nitrate-based explosive compounds and residues. It is part of Mistral’s proven EXPRAY® trace explosive detection system, used for rapid, presumptive screening in security, law enforcement, EOD, and forensic applications.
Key Features & Benefits:
Targeted Detection: Formulated specifically to react with inorganic nitrate compounds, such as ammonium nitrate, urea nitrate, black powder and similar nitrate-based materials commonly found in commercial and improvised explosives.
Instant Colorimetric Results: Produces a clear visual response upon contact with nitrates, enabling rapid identification of suspected explosive residues in the field.
Field-Ready Aerosol: Easy to carry and deploy in diverse operational environments. No specialized equipment, power source, or technical background is required to interpret results.
Complementary Reagent: Works as part of the sequential EXPRAY testing method — used after EXPRAY 1 and EXPRAY 2 to extend detection coverage to inorganic nitrate-based explosive threats.
Fast, On-the-Spot Screening: Results appear in seconds, making it ideal for checkpoints, post-blast investigations, site security screening, and suspicious item evaluation.
Applications:
Ideal for explosive residue screening, perimeter security, checkpoints, forensic analysis, and field investigations. EXPRAY 3 enhances presumptive detection protocols by identifying nitrate-based components that may not respond to other reagents.
