The Sentry EM Bookwand is a portable reactivation tool used to reactivate EM security strips during circulation. It allows staff to reactivate items individually, in batches, or directly from the carts. This makes it useful for both front desk and reshelving workflows. It is commonly used in libraries that want a simple, low-cost alternative to fixed reactivation stations, especially where space or circulation volume flexibility is important. 

The Desktop Deactivator is a portable non-electric EM strip desensitizer. This unit safely checks out printed materials, CDs, and DVDs. The unit is also ideal for checking out books manually.
