Key Features:
• Touchless “point & shoot” scanning through transparent containers, reducing exposure risk.
• Suppression of background fluorescence by the 1064 nm optical engine, enabling clear spectral fingerprints in complex materials.
• Patented chemometric algorithms for reliable identification of multicomponent mixtures.
• Large touchscreen plus illuminated keypad for ease of use in low‑light/field conditions.
• Two scan modes: “ID” mode for advanced users and “Screener” mode for faster decision-making.
• Expandable and customizable substance libraries (explosives, CWAs, controlled substances, precursors, industrial chemicals).
• Chain‑of‑custody features: built‑in GPS and digital camera for timestamp/location, unique user ID/password, metadata logging
Applications: Rapid field identification of explosives, chemical warfare agents, narcotics, and other hazardous chemicals by customs, military, law‑enforcement, and hazmat teams.
