Benches full of instruments, every one with a job to go to: a busy period in our Hampshire workshop saw multiple explosives and narcotics trace detectors (ETDs) refurbished, calibrated and delivered to customers — the engineering backbone behind every detector we sell, hire or support.
Trace detection is one of RedteQ's founding specialisms — our engineers have supported ETD systems for the Houses of Parliament since 2018, and the workshop handles the full lifecycle: refurbishment, repair, calibration, consumables and scheduled maintenance across the major manufacturers.
Why Refurbished Trace Detection Makes Sense
A professionally refurbished ETD delivers the same detection capability at a fraction of the cost of new, with every unit stripped, serviced, rebuilt and verified against the manufacturer's specification before it leaves the bench. For many organisations it's the most cost-effective route to adding explosives or narcotics screening to an existing checkpoint.
If you're considering trace detection, or have instruments that need some engineering attention, our workshop team is ready to help.
