Comprehensive Hazmat Analysis with Rigaku Handheld Raman

First responders face a very difficult and dangerous task of being called upon to mitigate the unknown. Facing a vast array of potentially deadly substances in various capacities, responders may be exposed to hazardous household chemicals, narcotics - even explosives. It is critical for first responders to have equipment that provides the most advanced and comprehensive chemical analysis in order to keep them and their communities safe.

KEEP AHEAD OF THE THREAT

Analytical technology is more readily available to first responders than ever before. A typical user has access to many devices in their toolkit, and so it is crucial to their safety, as well as others, that their time to resolution is as fast and easy as possible. The Rigaku ResQ family of Raman analyzers contains a large library with the latest drug formulations, explosives and their precursors, as well as pesticides and other hazardous chemicals - for the most comprehensive hazmat analysis tool available to first responders. In addition, unique features such as 4C Technology monitors individual results to warn the user of a possible dangerous recipe. It's like having an on-site chemist!  

SAFE AGAINST EXPOSURE

Raman technology provides identification of chemicals found in solids, liquids, powders, gels and pastes - and through packaging. This capability keeps users safe from exposure to hazardous substances, such as fentanyl. The ResQ portfolio of handheld Raman analyzers has the added capability of using 1064 nm Raman, which means fluorescence is not an issue when scanning dirty or colored materials, even through packaging. The optional QuickDetect Mode provides a method for capturing non-visible amounts of a substance.
