Trace Quality Control Kit

Product Brochure

The Trace Quality Control (TQC) Kit, also known to DHS/TSA as Thumbprint Quality Control Kit, allows users to effectively perform Red Team penetration testing using real explosive materials without the hazards and restrictions of bulk explosives.

The 3 unique samples of clay-like material each contain a small amount of real explosive material added (RDX, PETN, and TNT). This small amount of explosive material is easily detectable with today’s ETDs but is perfectly safe to ship, carries no handling restrictions, and is even non-flammable.

UV fluorescent dye has been added to the RDX and PETN TQC samples. This UV dye allows the trainer to verify that material has been deposited on a surface and to show a trainee or screener the location of the explosive contamination. This UV dye is only visible under UV light from the included flashlight and will not reveal the presence of explosive contamination.

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC-IHD) has verified and approved the TQC Kit for DOD and military use.
