Superior 1064nm Raman Excitation

Rigaku handheld Raman analyzers utilize 1064 nm excitation, which is idealforthe identification of unknown substances as it reduces absorption by the sample, allowing more signals to be reflected. This translates into stronger signals and faster analysis times ofless than 1 minute.

Most importantly, this allows users to scan through wrappings, packaging and containers, keeping the operator safe from potential exposure while generating rapid analyses.

Response Capabilities

The following are in-field capabilities that the Rigaku CQL Gen-ID handheld Raman analyzer can provide:

Automatic mixture analysis of up to 5 components

Identify bulk and trace levels of an unknown substance

Automatic precursor monitoring

Add pictorial evidence using on-board camera

Adjustable focal position to accommodate sampling through different packaging

IntegratedCommandSuitefleet management capability

U.S. Department of Defense Utilization

The CQL Max-ID handheld 1064 nm Raman is built upon the updated CQL platform that has been accepted as part of the U.S. DoD JPEO DR SKO System Modernization Program.
