It combines high sensitivity with advanced selectivity, ensuring that even low concentrations of targeted substances can be reliably detected without disrupting airport logistics.

HOW IT WORKS

Vapor-based technologies utilize the collection of a representative air sample from within the container, followed by analyzing its chemical content.

These technologies offer non-destructive, minimally intrusive, and safer screening methods, which can be fully automated, eliminating the need for human interpretation.

Enhancing Security and Efficiency

With SAUST, we are tackling critical gaps in airport security technology. Our solution aims to support customs and police in detecting illicit substances more effectively, reducing the reliance on manual inspections and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

 

By supporting customs operations at airport arrivals—where 85% of illicit drug seizures occur—SAUST will help safeguard borders and public health.
