*Depending on analyte

The XCAT uses detection cards with specially formulated optical detection inks and software to identify characteristics unique to each individual or group of chemically related analytes. Each analyte or group of analytes is detected with a dedicated card. The unit uniquely identifies and analyzes each card (eg. Cocaine or GSR) and returns a red or green light signal to the user simply indicating “detection” or “no detection”.
