Raman spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy is widely used for rapid, nondestructive identification in scientific, medical, and law enforcement settings. Traditionally, it is used to sample materials directly or through transparent/translucent barriers, which limits its practicality in the field. A new and unique advancement - Raman identification through opaque packaging - overcomes this limitation. Through-package analysis permits easier, safer, and faster material identification and avoids contact with unknown substances for warehouse inspections, first responders, and customs agents.
From content ID of a suspicious bag during a traffic stop to analysis of homemade incendiary devices, every second counts and nothing can be left to chance. The TacticID-1064 ST from Metrohm also benefits manufacturers who perform raw material verification. Operators can test container contents without exposure and get results in seconds. This streamlines QC and supports 100% testing of incoming goods. It also enables 90% of testing to happen at the point of receipt and avoids delays in production due to laboratory wait times.
