Superior 1064nm Raman Excitation
Unlike other Raman analyzers, Rigaku instruments utilize 1064 nm excitation which maximizes the signal to be analyzed by minimizing absorption. For users, this means faster analysis times (typically less than 1 minute) and the ability to scan substances through packaging and containers, avoiding possible operator exposure.
On-Board Chemical Library
The on-board library of over 4,000 chemical substances allows you to quickly identify common chemical threats such as:
- Cutting Agents
- Narcotics
- Narcotic Precursors
- Pharmaceuticals
- Solvents
- Steroids
- Biomolecules
- Explosives
- Explosive Precursors
- General Chemicals
- General Precursors
- Household Chemicals
- Industrial Chemicals
- Polymers
Note – If your need extends to chemical warfare agents (CWA) and/or toxic industrial chemicals (TIC) we recommend the Rigaku CQL Max-ID which includes these in its on-board-library.
Response Capabilities
The following are in-field capabilities that the Rigaku CQL Gen-ID handheld Raman analyzer provides you:
- Automatic mixture analysis of up to 5 components
