The SMS-TW-01 Explosive Precursor Test Kit is a portable, field-ready solution for quick screening of common chemical precursors associated with improvised explosives. Built for bomb squads, law enforcement, customs, emergency responders, and industrial safety teams, the kit enables rapid presumptive detection at checkpoints, incident scenes, and inspection points. Results are intended to guide safer operational decisions, prioritise samples for laboratory confirmation, and support evidence collection and chain-of-custody procedures. The SMS-TW-01 emphasizes operator safety, traceable record‑keeping, and compatibility with standard forensic workflows—helping agencies detect suspicious materials early while minimizing risk to personnel and the public.
