Safer Response for Military Chemical Threats

    As the military continues to face new and emerging chemical and explosive threats, it is mission-critical they are equipped with advanced field-deployable, analytical tools. Many real-world threats contain impurities from storage containers, degradation, precursors or intentionally added pigments or dyes to try to conceal.  This makes it even more difficult to correctly identify.  

    Purposely built to be used in high-stress environments, the Rigaku portfolio of handheld Raman analyzers are the choice for advanced chemical and explosives analysis among global defense forces. Its use of 1064 nm Raman technology means the Rigaku suite has the ability to overcome fluorescence interference, which is usually problematic for first generation Raman devices.

    • I purchased the Rigaku analyzer for 3 reasons: results in 10 seconds or less, little to no fluorescence, and it sees through colored containers - it was a no brainer!
