CSI: MIAMI Uses RedXDefense XPAK to Solve Crime

ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RedXDefense's portable explosives detection system, the XPAK, will be featured on the popular CBS television series, CSI: MIAMI, on Monday, April 28th. In this episode, entitled "Tunnel Vision," the show's main characters will use the XPAK to help solve a crime. Viewers will be taken inside the XPAK as the explosives detection occurs.

"We are excited to showcase the XPAK in a forensic application. Often explosives detection is all about 'finding the bomb,' but at RedXDefense we believe the fight against terrorism begins much earlier. By detecting trace amounts of explosives on people, packages, vehicles and many other surfaces, the XPAK serves as a useful tool for gathering evidence on bomb-making facilities and bomb-makers. RedX is committed to working with senior military, homeland security, and private sector security officials on expanding this capability," comments RedX CEO, Dr. Regina E. Dugan.

The XPAK, currently deployed with the military and homeland security, utilizes a proprietary detection ink to achieve the simple, fast, and inexpensive method to detect trace amounts of explosives. The technology, developed and exclusively licensed from University of California, San Diego, has many potential uses, including the detection of trace explosives fingerprints left by someone who has handled explosives and the detection of trace explosives on objects or vehicles.
