CAESAREA, Israel, March 21 -- Acro, Inc. (OTC BB:ACRI), a developer of explosive detection solutions, today announced the European launch of ACRO-P.E.T., the company's innovative patented peroxide explosive tester. ACRO-P.E.T is being demonstrated by KeTech Defence Ltd. at the HOSDB 2007 Exhibition - the UK's premier showcase for the latest security equipment.
ACRO-P.E.T. is able to identify peroxide based explosives, such as Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), which may appear in a variety of shapes and forms, including liquid explosives.
"ACRO-P.E.T. is an innovative solution for countermeasures against peroxide-based explosives, which are almost impossible to identify since they don't contain nitro groups and are colorless," said Acro Chairman and CEO Gadi Aner. "Acro's revolutionary tester enables immediate verification of TATP, and is a critical weapon in the global war against terrorism."
"This is the first opportunity for UK's homeland security officials and experts to closely examine this revolutionary solution," added Aner. "The UK has suffered several terror attacks, in which the terrorists used TATP, and our innovative peroxide explosive tester can help prevent such incidents."
