Features that Your Narc Analyzer May Not Have, but Should

Is your current handheld narcotics analyzer more than 5 years old?  Is it painfully slow when running a scan?  Do you receive inconclusive results?  Do you need to pay for additional updates to the device after the initial purchase?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then it’s time to consider updating to the newest Raman technology available!

Stay ahead of Illicit Drug Trends

It's critical for law enforcement to have access to the latest technology to keep up with today's criminal networks.  To help you stay ahead of ever-evolving threats, we want to introduce you to the Rigaku CQL Narc-ID 1064 nm Raman analyzer.

The CQL Narc-ID is a revolutionary tool that redefines accuracy and efficiency in the presumptive identification of illicit substances. In today's fast-paced world, safety and precision are critical.  This new analyzer is changing the game for law enforcement departments around the world.

What sets the Rigaku CQL Narc-ID handheld Raman analyzer apart from others?

1. Laser excitation - the 1064 nm Raman laser excitation eliminates common fluorescence issues encountered with traditional 785 nm lasers. For you, that means: 
   ✔️ You will receive an answer in less than 1 minute - every time.
   ✔️ You will be able to scan colored or impure substances accurately.
   ✔️ You will be able to scan through colored packaging to avoid exposure.
2. Library size - with 1,100 substances including drugs, cutting agents, and precursors, users can expect an identification result.  You also have the ability to add user-created spectra to the library to keep up with new threats.  This will help your community respond effectively.
3. Results that make sense - determine threat levels based on color-coded results.  No need for an off-site scientist to decipher the results to determine the safety of the scene.
4. Ruggedized / Easy to use - built tough for real-world conditions, and deconable with 810G and IP-68 ratings.  The interface is easy to use via touchscreen or button control.  This makes it simple to use even when wearing protective gear at the scene.
5. Time / Date stamped files - evidence matters during prosecution.  Users can add pictures from the on-board camera directly to the analytical results.  You can then share files using Wi-Fi, peer-to-peer, or USB.  This provides a transparent record for every scan for data integrity and facilitates easy reporting.
6. Court accepted - rest assured that your findings are backed by credibility.  The CQL Narc-ID is SWGDRUG-accepted for use in court as a Category A technique, providing legal validation to support your investigative efforts.
7. Optional colorimetrics - enhance the depth of your analysis by adding colorimetric technology capabilities using the optional QuickDetect Mode.  This adds low, trace concentration detection, all on one device. This secondary analytical method also qualifies as a Category C technique by SWGDRUG.
8. Precursor monitoring - stay ahead of the threats with precursor chemical monitoring capabilities.  Identify and track the substances used in illicit drug production with a unique on-board software program called 4C.  This software alerts when the identified chemical is a precursor to a bigger threat potential.
9. Long battery life - the removable, rechargeable, and hot swappable Li-ion battery allows for long-term use with minimal downtime.
10. Support post-purchase - the CQL Narc-ID includes a two-year warranty (with the option to extend), training, and unlimited 24/7/365 Reachback support.  We also include library and software updates for the life of the CQL Narc-ID to ensure you are always prepared to face emerging threats.
11. Grant assistance - Trouble finding funding to purchase?  We provide application assistance to state, local, and federal grants, as well as private funding.
12. Fleet management - CommandSuite will simplify logistics, and streamline operations, whether you are managing one CQL Narc-ID, or an entire fleet.

In conclusion, you will find many field-ready analytical techniques available for your department.  When your purchasing power is in the hands of a public budget, it's important that you evaluate what is going to give you the biggest bang for your buck - even beyond the initial purchase.
