ACRI a development stage company, develops and markets products for the detection of military and commercial explosives for the homeland security market. Products The company’s primary product is called the Peroxide Explosives Tester (ACRO-P.E.T.). ACRO-P.E.T. is a small, disposable, pen-like probe, which detects the presence of peroxide-based explosives using three chemical solutions and relies on direct contact with the suspicious substance. ACRO-P.E.T. has been designed for rapid, on-site detection of peroxide-based explosives. The company developed a new version of ACRO-P.E.T., which enables verification of peroxide-based explosives, such as triacetone triperoxide (TATP). In addition, in the new version the company improved the sampling device to enable immediate sampling of suspicious liquids, in addition to all other forms of explosives, such as powder. In addition, the company developed the ACRO-N.E.T. (Nitride Explosives Tester), which detects the presence of commercial and military explosives. ACRO-N.E.T. incorporates into its pen-like device the explosive testing kit of the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), licensed to the company under an agreement, with a subsidiary of IIBR called Life Science Research Israel Ltd. (LSRI). ACRO-N.E.T. is based on the LSRI explosive detecting kit, called ETK. The ETK is capable of identifying the range of types of military and commercially available explosives, and also of homemade explosives based on nitrate and chlorate salts. This device, ACRO-N.E.T., complements ACRO-P.E.T. by providing the possibility to detect explosives other than TATP. The ACRO-SET is a kit for field detection and identification of trace explosives. Weighing about one-quarter of a pound, this kit contains the ACRO-PET, which detects improvised explosives, such as TATP, and the ACRO-NET, which detects the entire range of the nitro explosives, including all conventional explosives, the improvised ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate fuel oil, and urea nitrate. The Acro-SET is, in effect, a portable, inexpensive micro-laboratory for identification of all explosives by any law enforcement personnel. The company developed a product called ‘TATP Simulant’. The TATP Simulant is a hands-on tool of practicing detection and identification of peroxide based explosives, such as TATP and HMTD. The company developed the ACRO-CH.E.T. (Chlorates Explosives Tester), which detects chlorate based explosives traces and the ACRO-U.E.T (Urea nitrate Explosives Tester) which detects the presence urea nitrate traces. Both products have low false positive and negative alarm rates. The company completed the development, Acro-ANET, a specific tester and a trace-detector of ammonium nitrate. The white crystals of ammonium nitrate are commonly used in agriculture as high-nitrogen fertilizer and are the main component of ammonium nitrate fuel oil, a component of improvised explosive devices. Intellectual Property The company owns the technology covered by United States Patent No. 6,767,717. History The company was founded in 2002. It was incorporated in 2002 under the laws of the state of Nevada, as Medina International Corp. The company changed its name to ACRO Inc. in 2006.
