Traceable, supportable CBRNE sampling is dependent upon clean and/or sterile sampling tools. Many times, sampling conducted using these tools is performed in a highly hazardous environment and in others in a non-permissive location. The sampling kit was designed, developed, fabricated, and utilized by the U.S. Army ECBC Forensic Analytical Center (FAC) Mobile Labs and Kits Team.
- Tools for chemical sampling are cleaned/screened for over 10 chemical warfare-related compounds and a list of TICS/TIMS.
- Tools for biological sampling are sterile.
- Obtain nine chemical (liquid, wipe, or solid), five biological (liquid, wipe, or solid), six radiological (wipe) and three explosive samples.
- Field portable, self-contained hard case.
- Items packaged for single use are easy to open while wearing PPE.
- Each kit individually serial numbered for reach back.
- Each item in the kit can be repurchased for easy resupply.
- Kit is separated by colored modules to easily find sampling item based on sample type:
Liquid Module (Royal Blue), Solid Module (Yellow), Wipes Module (Orange), Biological Module (Green), Radiation Pocket, Powder Screening, Tools & Consumables.
