Rigaku Analytical Devices will be exhibiting at SOFIC 2022

We will be exhibiting in booth #2121 in the Exhibit Hall and will have the latest in handheld chemical detection technology for special operations on display. Attendees can visit and chat with Nancy Otto, our North American Sales Director and Alda Qirici, our Sales & Marketing Administrator.  

With  decades of experience in defense, public safety, and homeland security industries, Nancy and Alda can provide recommendations to visitors on how to advance Special Operation Teams' CBRNE response and available procurement programs.

Integrating Raman technology into a CBRNe toolkit allows users to identify unknown materials through packaging – providing presumptive chemical identification, such as chemical warfare agents or explosives.

The Rigaku portfolio of handheld Raman analyzers provide results in under 1 minute and have the ability to also detect non-visible amounts as well. What’s more, the analyzer is approved as part of the U.S. DoD JPEO DR SKO Program.
