Rigaku Analytical Devices has announced its next-generation 1064 nm handheld Raman analyzer, the Rigaku ResQ CQL. The ergonomics, analytical performance and sample presentation of ResQ CQL make it easy to perform chemical analysis of powders, liquids, gels and mixtures. The ResQ CQL analyzer will be introduced during a press conference at JASIS 2018 in Tokyo.
The ResQ CQL analyzer offers first responders, border protection and law enforcement an advanced method for identifying potential threats in an improved tactical form factor. The standard library contains over 13,000 chemicals, including explosives, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), precursors, hazardous chemicals, narcotics, cutting agents, pesticides, steroids and more. It has added capabilities to upgrade, transfer and translate entries. By utilizing the 1064 nm Raman advantage, users can reduce sample fluorescence and identify colored substances or scan through colored packaging.
Additional features available include:
- Onboard 5 MP camera for imaging, colorimetric analysis or barcode scanning
- LED flashlight for optimal sample visibility
- Quick scan button for faster scans
- 4C technology for precursor monitoring
- QuickDetect automated colorimetric for non-visible detection (optional)
- Periscope adaptor enhances sampling flexibility
- Connectivity via Wi-Fi, peer-to-peer or USB
- Tamper-proof reports
