Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of rapidly detecting trace materials including biohazards, toxin s, radioactive materials, and narcotics in situ is disclosed. A correspondin g apparatus is disclosed. A trace of the material is collected on a pad of t he card component, collected by swiping the pad on suspected surface or expo sure to the suspected air volume. A novel card component is disclosed that w hen inserted in a chemical detection unit (CDU), releases reaction chemicals from flexible walled capsules in desired sequence. The exposed pad containi ng trace material and chemicals are heated in the chemical detection unit to produce a spectral pattern that is analyzed by the optical electronics in t he CDU and results are displayed, stored and/or transmitted over a communica tions network.
