Material Identification
NanoRam from B&W Tek is a handheld Raman instrument capable of point-and-press identification or validation of raw materials. Very easy to use, NanoRam uses state-of-the-art laser and cooled sensor technology to capture a Raman spectrum from a solid or liquid material sample and compare it with library spectra to determine a % match for material ID purposes.
NanoRam is aimed at raw material identification and verification, at-line sampling and final inspection. NanoRam has touchscreen operation, and produces accurate, reproducable data which can be transmitted from the unit via wi-fi to a main database with a full audit trail. The proprietary NanoRam OS software supports CFR21 part 11 requirements for electronic records. A range of sampling accessories is available for gels, liquids, powders and solids.
The TacticID® handheld Raman spectrometer range is ideal for rapid identification of unknown chemicals, explosives and narcotics directly in the field or in the lab. The TacticID® allows users to get real-time actionable identification of potential threats while reducing operational uncertainty and response time without ever compromising the integrity of the sample, or the chain of evidence.
Two models are shown below. TacticID-GP is a field-ready handheld spectral analysis instrument designed for non-contact forensic analysis by safety personnel and first responders, including law enforcement personnel, customs and border patrol, hazmat technicians, bomb squads. TacticID-N is a field-ready handheld instrument specifically designed for non-contact forensic analysis of narcotics, pharmaceutical drugs, cutting agents and precursors by law enforcement personnel.
