The ECO2 Detecta-Stick is the best-value detectable pen in the category, and it earns that title without compromising on food safety.
One-piece construction means there are no small external parts to detach. No springs, no clip hardware that snaps off, no hidden failure points. BRCGS Issue 9 Clause 4.9.6.2 requires pens in open product areas to be designed without small external parts, the ECO2's single-body design satisfies that requirement at the most economical price point in the XDetect range.
The clip-equipped version stays put on flat surfaces, a round pen without a clip rolls off clipboards and counters. The no-clip option is available for environments where clip hardware presents its own small-parts concern.
XDetect 2.0 handles both detection systems, ferromagnetic additives for metal detection and high-density additives for x-ray inspection. Steritouch Silver-Ion antimicrobial technology is built into the material at the point of manufacture, effective against E. Coli, MRSA, and Salmonella for the life of the pen. The stainless steel ink cartridge is fully detectable, so the entire pen, body and refill, passes inline inspection.
Sequential numbering is available for facilities that need to assign and track individual pens across lines and shifts for HACCP documentation and internal audits.

Metal Detectable
XDetect 2.0 Plastic Compound is a fully detectable material capable of being detected by most industrial metal detection systems. These materials may be metallic or plastic/rubber with special ferromagnetic additives.
X-Ray Visible
XDetect 2.0 Plastic Compound includes a special density additive that makes it visible to foreign body contaminant prevention systems using X-Ray.
AntiMicrobial
The XDetect Material is made from a plastic that incorporates Steritouch Silver-Ion Additives. This technology makes the material AntiMicrobial (AntiBacterial, AntiViral, AntiFungal, etc) for the entire lifespan of the product. It protects against pathogenic viruses, germs, and moulds such as E-Coli, MRSA, and Salmonella. Looking for an Detectable pen that is Anti-Viral against SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19)? Please see my article where I discuss the XDetect's AntiViral properties: AntiViral Properties of our XDetect Material
Impact Resistant
Made from a plastic that is designed not to shatter or snap. These materials make food production items safer and reduce the risk of foreign body contamination to your product. See for yourself with this video of BST hitting one with a hammer multiple times: BST Shatterproof Test
