The MOLE was exactly the same in appearance as the previously debunked Quadro Tracker device, with Sandia personnel noting it appeared to have been produced using the exact same plastic injection molding equipment. Of note, the ADE product line appears to be an alternate descendant from the original Quadro Tracker device. corresponds with the fact the Quadro Tracker founders moved the company to the UK after a trial in US federal court. Global Technical Ltd. also still manufactures a descendant of the MOLE, the GT-200 Molecular Detector.

Testing by Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories tested similar devices and found them ineffective: the MOLE Programmable System manufactured by Global Technical Ltd. of Kent, UK, and the DKL LifeGuard Model 2.
