Identify a wide range of unknown chemicals and explosives in the field using RAMAN spectroscopy. Operator and community safety are essential when analyzing potentially hazardous materials. Military and civilian first responders need to quickly identify unknown solid and liquid chemical substances, including explosives, toxic industrial chemicals, chemical weapons, narcotics, precursors, white powders and more. The Thermo Scientific™ FirstDefender™ RMX Handheld Chemical Identification Analyzer can be used as a handheld instrument or integrated on a tactical robot, providing greater flexibility and increased safety in incident response situations requiring rapid and accurate chemical identification.

The instrument takes measurements in real time, performs identification and is ready for a new measurement within tens of seconds.

The FirstDefender™ RMX spectrometer can determine a wide range of compounds, depending on the spectrum libraries pre-loaded in the instrument memory.

Applications:
Identify unknown chemicals in the instrument’s spectrum libraries; perform direct identification of compounds in mixtures.
