Abstract
A method for security inspection of baggage and/or personal items and a kit of parts include a detachable single-use inlay and an X-ray tray of a security check, for example, at an airport. A single-use inlay as such is also described. Furthermore, this disclosure relates to use of the kit of parts and/or the single-use inlay for the prevention of transfer of pathogenic agents. At least one metal organic framework (MOF) provided on the outer side and/or inner side of the single-use inlay is adapted and arranged to detect at least one explosive or any other hazardous compound, and/or detect at least one drug.
Claims22
A method for security inspection of baggage and/or personal items, the method comprising:
- a. providing an X-ray tray having a deposition area;
- b. attaching a flexible and/or elastic single-use inlay to the X-ray tray to cover the deposition area, the single-use inlay comprising a flexible polymer layer having an outer side and an inner side, wherein the polymer layer has an essentially circumferential fringe area adapted to grasp and/or cover the edges of said X-ray tray, wherein the essentially circumferential fringe area comprises an elastic band and the polymer layer is secured to the X-ray tray by stretching the polymer layer over an edge of said X-ray tray, wherein the polymer layer contracts at or below said edge on an exterior side of the X-ray tray;
- c. putting the baggage and/or personal items onto the single-use inlay without direct contact to the X-ray tray;
- d. X-ray scanning the baggage and/or personal items disposed in the X-ray tray, wherein the X-ray tray is moved by at least one belt conveyor into and out of the scanning area;
- e. removing the baggage and/or personal items from the single-use inlay;
- and
- f. detaching the single-use inlay from the X-ray tray,
- wherein at least one metal organic framework (MOF) adapted and arranged to detect at least one explosive or other hazardous compound is provided on the outer side and/or on the inner side of the single-use inlay, and/or
- wherein at least one metal organic framework (MOF) adapted and arranged to detect at least one drug is provided on the outer side and/or on the inner side of the single-use inlay.
A kit of parts comprising a detachable single-use inlay and an X-ray tray,
- the detachable single-use inlay comprising a paper and/or polymer layer having an outer side and an inner side,
- wherein at least one metal organic framework (MOF) adapted and arranged to detect at least one explosive or other hazardous compound is provided on the outer side and/or on the inner side of the detachable single-use inlay, and/or
- wherein at least one metal organic framework (MOF) adapted and arranged to detect at least one drug is provided on the outer side and/or on the inner side of the detachable single-use inlay.
A detachable single-use inlay for use with an X-ray tray in a security inspection of baggage and/or personal items, comprising:
- a paper and/or polymer layer having an outer side and an inner side that is sized and arranged for attachment to an X-ray tray to cover a deposition area of the X-ray tray,
- wherein at least one metal organic framework (MOF) adapted and arranged to detect at least one explosive or other hazardous compound is provided on the outer side and/or on the inner side of the paper and/or polymer layer, and/or
- wherein at least one metal organic framework (MOF) adapted and arranged to detect at least one drug is provided on the outer side and/or on the inner side of the paper and/or polymer layer.
