In-Field Inspection for Customs Agencies

Customs and border protection agencies play a critical role in national security efforts to interdict dangerous substances from crossing the border. A major challenge for these agencies is the vast amount of materials being transported and implementing processes for inspection. Without knowing what substances may be inside a package, their access to fast and accurate analytical equipment is imperative.  

The Rigaku portfolio Raman analyzers contain a library with the latest opioid formulations, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), explosives and their precursors, as well as pesticides and other hazardous chemicals - for comprehensive inspection. Because of its use of 1064 nm Raman technology, users have the ability to scan through translucent packaging, keeping them safe from exposure to potentially hazardous substances. The optional QuickDetect Mode provides a method for capturing non-visible amounts of a substance that might be found on the outside of packaging.
