A Houston startup has created a 1-lb. handheld computing device that can quickly detect trace amounts of chemicals such as narcotic drugs or those used to make explosives.
Running Windows CE, the $8,500 Seeker CDU from DetectaChem LLC is being adopted by soldiers, police, customs officials and others trying to track down terrorists or drug dealers.
The Seeker is not a real-time threat detector, but a powerful investigative tool, according to DetectaChem founder and CEO, Vaughn Clift.
