Handheld Raman for Narcotics and Explosives: TacticID®-1064 ST

TacticID^®-1064 ST—a 1064-nm handheld Raman analyzer offered by B&W Tek—enables rapid field detection of narcotics, explosivesand other suspicious materials.

With the help of this analyzer, samples can be non-destructively examined through transparent and opaque packaging. The threat level of the sample is clearly displayed for safety personnel, first responders, bomb squads, law enforcement, hazmat teamsand customs and border patrol to act immediately with very little sample contact.

The TacticID-1064 ST analyzer uses a combination of established Raman spectroscopy and patented STRaman^® technology, enabling users to achieve real-time actionable detection of unfamiliar pharmaceutical drugs, narcotics, chemicals, explosives* and a host of other substances even through opaque barriers. This aspect considerably reduces response time,operational uncertainty and exposure to samples.

Equipped with 1064-nm laser excitation and the see-through adapter, the TacticID-1064 ST analyzer scans a larger sample area, creating a fluorescence-free spectrum without burning the samples. This enables users to directly detect colored and dark materials, inhomogeneous materials and mixturesand tough street samples through packaging.
