 TraceGuard Technologies, a developer of innovative security products for the airport security market, inaugurates a new research and development center in Petach Tikva, Israel. The Company plans to develop and test its first generation products that are targeted at the airport security field, in its new R&D Center.

“Our stated aim of helping major players provide greater protection to transportation hubs against terrorist threats has moved closer to reality with the opening of this new state-of-the-art facility,” said TraceGuard Chairman and CEO Dr. Ehud Ganani.

The Company plans to develop and test its first generation products that are targeted at the airport security field, in its new R&D Center. Working prototypes of TraceGuard’s CarrySafe explosive trace extraction system are already undergoing a comprehensive series of tests within the facility. CarrySafe is designed to fully automate the extraction of explosive traces during the security screening of carry-on luggage and other items in airports, subway stations and densely populated areas that face a high risk of terror attacks.

Additional products under development include the HoldSafe system, engineered to screen checked luggage and designed to be easily integrated into existing Computer Tomography Explosive Detection Systems( CT-EDS) luggage screening systems; and the CargoSafe screening system for palletized cargo, which is designed to be integrated into cargo screening systems. In the future, TraceGuard plans to integrate its proprietary technology into trace analysis systems in transportation terminals, border crossings, mail services, government buildings and food and pharmaceutical plants.
