Washington, May 24: A security systems company RedXDefense has developed a portable kit that can quickly reveal trace amounts of nitrogen-based explosives.

Security officers can use the new kit with minimal training, according to a research article describing this advancement.

The report reveals that the kit relies on fluorescent polymers developed at UCSD by chemistry and biochemistry professor William Trogler and graduate student Jason Sanchez for its detection abilities.

“It’s a very intuitive detection method that doesn’t require a scientist to run,” Trogler said.
