What are OEM Trace Consumables?
As the intellectual property owner, the original manufacturer is the only one able to produce consumables that are created directly for its equipment and unlike other consumables, won’t risk compromising the explosive detector or its results. With Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) trace detection consumables you are removing the doubt that comes with the unknown. When you buy OEM, you don’t have to worry about assessing the quality of different brands and prices while still leaving the possibility of choosing a product that will not work correctly. Because they fit better, function more cleanly and are made with top quality materials, you can count on OEM products.
Although variety in aftermarket parts may be much larger than with OEM, the quality of material in these products is widely variable and unpredictable. The large number of companies producing aftermarket parts also means fewer controls on quality and while some may use good materials, many others use inferior components to save money during manufacturing. With original manufacturer products however, you are getting the best materials possible every time from a consistent and knowledgeable source. OEM consumables for trace detection systems also offer the unique ability to optimize performance. Manufacturer brand ETD consumables are expressly made to maximize performance of their equipment. This means they will work exactly as the ones you are replacing and will provide a peace of mind in their familiarity and performance. Additionally, non-manufacturer product use means that performance and efficiencies cannot be guaranteed to match cataloged data. Calibration and verification OEM products are one specific example of this, as they are the only ones that can be optimized to minimize clearing times that may render machines inoperable.
