MICROTRACE EXPLOSIVE AND PSEUDO-DRUG MARKER PENS FOR K9 TRAINING

(various order -skus see chart below)  t

This picture shows the pseudo-drug Microtrace pens we manufacture. These are used for police officer training, customs officer training, airport security training, dog training. Description:
Police officers, dog trainers, customs officers and airport security inspectors, need a simple method of depositing a trace sample of explosives and pseudo-drug simulants. Until now, this has meant compliance with onerous licensing, shipping and storage requirements. Securesearch, Inc. is the exclusive manufacturer of a series of fiber-tip marking pens, each containing MICROTRACE amounts of different explosive particles, simulated G-agent, one of 7 pseudo-drug simulants, corpse scent and black mold scent, in a volatile solvent. The metal-bodied markers operate on a one-way release valve, activated only when the user applies pressure to the tip, and draws it across the surface of an object. The smear left on the surface, while invisible, can be detected by a trained dog.

Available formulations include but are not limited to PETN; RDX; TNT; EGDN; MMAN; Detonating Cord; Potassium Nitrate; o-MNT; p-MNT, DNT; Nitroglycerin; Ammonium Nitrate; Potassium Perchlorate; Sodium Chlorate; Sodium Perchlorate; Smokeless Powder (Nitrocellulose); Black Powder; Dynamite; C4; Detasheet; Watergel Explosives; and Urea Nitrate. The explosive taggant DMNB used in Europe, is also available. Most of the explosive formulations have now been approved by the Canadian Government for sale within Canada. Some will require an additional special application to obtain approval. Each pen contains a maximum 14 ml of solvent with dissolved explosives at various approved levels. The maximum explosive concentration level depends on the explosive involved, ranging from one microgram per microliter to 7 micrograms per microliter. In some pens the law sets no maximum concentrations. Custom concentrations can also be made within limits. One of our markers also contains G-Agent -- a Nerve Agent Simulant.

The 4 Sigma Chemical drug simulants pseudo-heroin, pseudo-cocaine, pseudo-LSD and pseudo-marijuana are available from us as marker pens. Due to requests received, we also have additional pens, each containing methamphetamine, ecstasy and oxycontin scents, corpse (dead body) scent for searches, and one containing black & green mold extract, developed by our company.
A bedbug pheromone extract is under development.

Users can purchase control pens with solvent only, (either methanol, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol in combination with water), for use in dog training and testing.

The various formulations are available as single pens or in several types of kits, including a lockable metal case and a small, lockable plastic Pelican case.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has approved the explosive marker pens as NON-REGULATED and the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (BATFE) have approved the explosive marker pens as NON-REGULATED “Special Explosive Device” items for use in the U.S.A. BATFE still requires the same documentary record keeping for the markers, (as for other explosives), and each is sold with a lot number and filling date on the label. Civilian purchasers no longer need an explosives licence to purchase, store or transport the markers.

WITHIN CANADA, MARKERS ARE SOLD ONLY TO VERIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND DETECTOR DOG TRAINING COMPANIES. UNDER CANADIAN GOVERNMENT REGULATION, NO INDIVIDUAL PURCHASES ARE PERMITTED.

It is the end-user’s responsibility to verify your country’s importation and possession laws and regulations, prior to ordering. We reserve the right to refuse sale of these products, where our customer approval process deems such sale to be undesirable, unlawful or otherwise not in our commercial interest.

Summary

In 1995 the R&D chemist at Securesearch, Inc. developed a series of trace marker pens containing live explosives in a quick-evaporating solvent. These were tested for long-term stability in a federal government testing laboratory --and also to prove the levels were low enough not to be able to be detonated by a detonator.

In 1997, after two years of meetings among 19 different government agencies, they were approved by the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, (ATF -- now ATFE) and the US Department of Transportation (DOT) for sale and transport within the USA. They were approved one year earlier for sale in Canada. The marker pens were regulated in the USA until 2006, when the requirement was lifted and the licensing of purchasers was no longer mandatory.

These pens were developed primarily for training and testing detector canines on very small (micro trace quantities) of explosives, useful as a refresher for the dogs.

Secondarily, they could be used to test explosive detection instrumentation, although this is not a recommended use for a number of reasons outlined in our technical literature.

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses these marker pens at many airports and training centers throughout the United States.

The markers have an average shelf life of about 3 years if kept in low temperature storage such as a refrigerator.

More than 40 types are available, containing explosives, oxidizers, chemical taggants for plastic explosives, pseudo drugs (breakdown products and precursor chemicals). A control marker pen is also available containing only solvent.
