Raptor Detection Technologies’ Kestrel First Responder Kit is a pocket sized, field

deployable, self-contained explosives detection and evidence collection kit. The Kestrel

kit provides two testing methods for detecting explosive residue on any surface. Its core

detection capability is powered by Raptor’s patented SAFE-T® nanotechnology and is

applied using wipes and sprays. The kit contains component parts required to collect

and preserve evidence of detected trace levels of explosives. Its combined capabilities

for explosives detection and forensics collection are invaluable for the quick threat

Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Sensors for Explosives, Toxins, Bio-chemical

Agents and Pesticides

SAFE-T® MIPs

Unique TechnologyIn 2005, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) signed several agreements with Raptor Detection Technologies, granting worldwide exclusive rights to its molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) detection technology for explo-sives. In 2006, the license agreements expanded to include MIPs for toxins, chemical agents, biological agents, pesticides, poisons, elements, chemical compounds and an appara-tus for detecting mines and impro-vised explosive devices (IEDs) buried in the ground. The partnership with JHU/APL affords an opportunity to showcase the wide range of applica-tions and advantages of customized macromolecules.

Raptor’s SAFE-T® MIPs can produce a reaction that is visible to the naked eye. If a trace amount of explosives is present on a person’s skin, or finger, it will make a visible fingerprint when it touches the MIP. The color change is visibly detectable immediately after exposure.

SAFE-T® MIPs are very flexible in formulation and allow detection of highly sensitive explosives and hazardous materials in a variety of applications and products.

The newest SAFE-T® MIP versions developed by Raptor Detection Technologies include soluble versions of polymers (SAFE-T® Fluids). These formulations have been successfully demonstrated in sprays (SAFE-T® Spray) and handy wipes (SAFE-T®

Wipes) and as a fill for a paintball projectile. SAFE-T® Paint has demon-strated visible detection to the naked eye of a trace amount of explosives at a distance of more than 50 meters.

The Business CaseSAFE-T® MIPs easily can be incorpo-rated into existing products and systems like event tickets, security badges and other applications. The incremental costs are low, creating a viable alternative to conventional methods. Scanning for detection can be as simple as looking for a visible color change on the item or using a simple electronic reader, eliminating the potential of decreasing through-put. The result is a more effective work force and higher overall security.

MIPs as Sensors When viewed under an ultraviolet (UV) LED or blue laser light, Raptor’s SAFE-T® MIPs will start to fluoresce in a red spectrum if there is a presence of explo-sives.

A thin MIP film can be applied to paper, ticket stock, security badges, glass or other materials. To the observer, the MIP might appear to be a simple clear plastic laminate film or ink on paper.

The most mature reading technology uses an optical transducer that undergoes a detectable change in absorption and/or emission of light (electromagnetic radiation) when the target molecule binds with the MIP.

Two significant tasks must be accom-plished in the development of a reliable MIP sensor:

• The development of a specific chemical-recognition element (MIP) that allows a molecule, or a class of molecules, to be captured.

• Detecting the presence of the target molecule, deriving from a measurable change in the physical property of the material.

MIP Facts • MIP is generally described as a plastic cast or mold of a molecule, wherein detection is based on shape and the electrochemical bond between the molecule and the MIP works much like a lock and key.

• MIPs are highly accurate due to their lock and key attributes — they do not produce false alarms.

• MIPs can be stored in a dry state at room temperature for long periods of time.

Our potential target molecules are Explosives, Chemical Agents and Biological Toxins

Applications • Homeland Security

• Transportation Security

• Buildings Access Control

• Military and Defense

• Stand-off IED Detection

• Environmental Monitoring and Control

• Forensic Applications

• Medical Applications

• MIPs are highly cross-linked, stable and robust, facilitating their application in extreme environments – such as in the presence of acids, bases, or metal ions – in organic solvents or at high temperatures and pressures.

How Are MIPs Made?Please refer to MIPs diagram on front.

• MIPs are made by first building a complex encompassing a target molecule and associated binding molecules that possess the ability to be incorporated into a polymer (Stage 1). The complex is usually dissolved in a larger amount of other polymerizable molecules.

• The bulk of the polymer is made with crosslinking monomers. These molecules have two places to bind to the polymer chain to form a rigid three-dimensional structure (Stage 2). The crosslinkers are necessary to hold the complexing molecules in place after the target molecule, or "template," is removed (Stage 3).

• Finally, a MIP is left with special holes that have a memory for the target molecule and are ready to recapture that specific molecule the next time it comes along (Stage 4).
