Agilent Announces New Insight Series Alarm Resolution Systems for Airport Security Screening

Next-generation explosive detection systems deliver unmatched accuracy, speed, and adaptability for evolving airport security needs

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the launch of its new Insight Series Alarm Resolution Systems, designed to enhance safety and streamline operations at airport security checkpoints worldwide. The Insight Series includes the Insight300M and InsightBLS, advanced liquid explosive detection systems (LEDs) that meet global regulations for screening liquids, aerosols, and gels (LAGs).

With the industry’s lowest false alarm rate and rapid scan times, the Insight Series ensures faster airport passenger flow, reduced operational disruptions, and enhanced threat detection accuracy. These systems are engineered to identify threats through complex barriers, such as opaque containers, or multi-layered materials, delivering a future-proof solution that evolves via simple software upgrades, eliminating the need for costly hardware reinvestment as regulations change.

“The new Insight Series represents a major step up in alarm resolution and detection capability for airports,” said Geoff Winkett, vice president of Agilent’s Spectroscopy & Vacuum Division. “Insight systems continue to be a trusted solution for our airport partners, offering the most efficient and reliable alarm resolution tool available.”

Agilent’s Insight systems work in conjunction with explosive detection systems for cabin baggage such as CT X-ray scanners, to screen LAGs. As global regulations evolve, Insight’s adaptability positions it as the premier solution for emerging threats, including solids and powders.

“The Insight Series is engineered to detect the threats of today and tomorrow,” added Rob Stokes, director of Agilent’s Detection and Security business. “This confirmatory, highly accurate, and selective technology gives security operators the confidence to lift some restrictions for passengers, while maintaining high assurance in safety and security.”

This launch marks a significant milestone in Agilent’s strategic expansion into the airport security market, building on its 2017 acquisition of Cobalt Light Systems and proven the success of the Insight100 and Insight200M systems.

The launch coincides with Agilent’s presence at the International Security Expo (ISE) in London, where the company will showcase the Insight Series and offer live demonstrations to security professionals, regulators, and the media.
