RaySecur launches MailSecur MS400 T-ray screening system

RaySecur has announced the launch of the MailSecur MS400 T-ray security screening system to detect smaller and more dangerous concealed threats.

This includes increasingly dangerous and difficult-to-detect substances being sent through physical mail to government agencies, corporations and high-profile individuals.

The MS400

According to the company, the MS400 is the world’s first commercial terahertz (T-ray) security imaging system operating at 400 GHz offering real-time 3D video imaging with even higher resolution.

It can detect the smallest threats such as white powders, liquids and chemically-laced papers that are sealed inside mail and often bypass conventional detection.

The system is sustainable, safe and does not generate harmful radiation like X-ray machines.

Physical mail threat detection

Physical mail can often be overlooked, causing security vulnerabilities for a broad range of organisations across both public and private sectors.

The greatest physical mail threat is that off small packages that can be sent anonymously via curbside drop-boxes.

There has been an increase in deadly and toxic substances, including fentanyl, being used along with other white powders.

The MailSecur screening system can detect dangerous substances listed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as potential mail threats, including:

• Chemical
• Biological
• Radiological
• Nuclear
• Explosives

T-ray is a safer, lighter and smaller option compared to X-ray systems that generate harmful radiation whilst only providing 2D images.

The MS400 allows users to “see inside” sealed physical mail items in real-time to reveal concealed contents, enhancing both operator safety whilst delivering high-resolution detection capabilities.

“Making it easier than ever to detect concealed threats and contraband”

Alex Sappok, PhD, CEO, RaySecur commented: “RaySecur pioneered T-ray security screening technology with the MailSecur 300, the world’s first commercial-scale T-ray desktop scanners designated by the US Department of Homeland Security under the SAFETY Act, with hundreds of systems deployed across the globe.”

He added: “The launch of the MailSecur MS400 continues to push the boundaries of T-ray technology to deliver unparalleled real-time imaging at 400 GHz in both portable and desktop systems, making it easier than ever to detect concealed threats and contraband.”

Portable MS400

Physical mail threats also happen outside of the mailroom. The MS400 T-ray imaging system is also available in a mobile configuration with an included battery pack for cordless screening in a wide range of settings.

Many organisations in the private and public sectors lack the modern hardware to keep up with these physical threats.

The MS400 allows concealed items to be detected using high-resolution imaging. This allows staff to quickly an safely scan incoming mail and packages for potential threats.

RaySecur claims that use of the MS400 requires the same level of effort as using a copy machine or document scanner.

All MailSecur MS400 systems come with a service package that allows 24 hour, 365 days a year remote support, onsite training, risk-assessments and threat intelligence to customers.
