Astrotech Corporation Press Release:

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Astrotech Corporation (ASTC) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1st Detect, has received initial notice that its explosives trace detector (ETD), the TRACER 1000, has successfully passed the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC)’s Common Evaluation Process (CEP) for airport checkpoint screening of passengers. The TRACER 1000 is the first mass spectrometry-based ETD to have passed ECAC’s stringent laboratory testing protocol. It is expected that 1st Detect will receive formal certification at the CEP Management Group’s next meeting.

“ECAC’s support throughout this process demonstrates their commitment to setting the global standard of security by adopting the most advanced explosives detection technology. We look forward to improving the safety of the world’s air transportation systems with our high-quality instruments for many years to come,” stated Thomas B. Pickens III, CEO of 1st Detect and Astrotech.

“Passing ECAC’s CEP test for airport checkpoint screening of passengers is an important validation of our technology. The TRACER 1000 was designed to improve safety and enhance the airport experience for travelers and personnel by reducing wait times at security checkpoints. Our mass spectrometry-based ETD outperforms current systems by offering higher detection accuracy, near-zero false alarm rates, and a virtually unlimited threat library. These capabilities are critical for staying ahead of emerging threats,” added Raj Mellacheruvu, COO of 1st Detect and Astrotech.
