The global drug problem is increasing, with trafficking of methamphetamines, heroin, and emerging threats like fentanyl and carfentanil impacting communities worldwide. Law enforcement officials need to quickly identify suspected narcotics in the field to help keep drugs, and drug dealers, off the streets. Now with the expanded v1.10 library, the Thermo Scientific™ TruNarc™ Handheld Narcotics Analyzer enables officers, customs, border control, and other personnel to scan more than 530 suspected controlled substances in a single, definitive test.
With the TruNarc Handheld Narcotics Analyzer, the accuracy and reliability of a narcotics and drug test lab are available anywhere you go. With this handheld drug detector, narcotics, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens and analgesics are easily identified using lab-proven Raman spectroscopy.
Single Test, Multiple Narcotics
Identifies more than 530 of the highest priority illicit and abused narcotics in a single drug test, saving time and money.
Easy to Use
A single drug test for multiple controlled substances provides clear, definitive results for presumptive identification with no user interpretation.
Broad Analysis Capability
Analyze key drugs of abuse as well as common cutting agents, precursors and emerging threats such as fentanyl, numerous fentanyl compounds including carfentanil, common street fentanyl analogs, pharmaceutical variants (Alfentanil and Sufentanil), as well as 2 fentanyl precursors, NPP and ANPP.
Non-destructive, Non-contact Sampling
Scan directly through plastic or glass for most drug test samples to minimize contamination, reduce exposure and preserve evidence.
Automated Data Storage and Report Generation
TruNarc Admin captures all scan and self check results to help support prosecution.
Reachback Support
Spectral analysis by staff chemists available.

Product Information
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
In Raman spectroscopy, an unknown sample of material is illuminated with monochromatic (single wavelength or single frequency) laser light, which can be absorbed, transmitted, reflected, or scattered by the sample. Light scattered from the sample is due to either elastic collisions of the light with the sample's molecules (Rayleigh scatter) or inelastic collisions (Raman scatter). Whereas Rayleigh scattered light has the same frequency (wavelength) of the incident laser light, Raman scattered light returns from the sample at different frequencies corresponding to the vibrational frequencies of the bonds of the molecules in the sample.
If you wish to learn more about Raman spectroscopy, visit our online Raman Spectroscopy Academy (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/industrial/spectroscopy-elemental-isotope-analysis/spectroscopy-elemental-isotope-analysis-learning-center/molecular-spectroscopy-information/raman-technology.html), where you will find basic Raman tutorials, advanced Raman webinars on sample applications, and a helpful instrument guide.
The TruNarc Handheld Narcotics Analyzer has a 3.7 V internal rechargeable battery pack that lasts up to 10 hours.
Yes. Because the TruNarc Handheld Narcotics Analyzer employs non-destructive, non-contact Raman technology, it can scan directly through sealed glass and plastic containers. This feature helps reduce exposure to ensure officer safety, and is particularly useful for preserving evidence.
Depending on jurisdiction, TruNarc Handheld Narcotics Analyze test results may be allowed at preliminary hearings.
The TruNarc analyzer captures all scan results, including time-and-date stamp and system selfchecks to help expedite prosecution. Once a substance is analyzed, full results are automatically stored for reporting and evidence submission. Rapid results combined with automated reports can streamline the path to prosecution, reducing administrative burden and dramatically impacting the time and expense of drug-related arrests.
Raman spectroscopy is best used as a primary analysis technique for sealed containers, aqueous solutions, and white and light powders. The TruNarc Handheld Narcotics Analyzer also uses a Type H kit to analyze substances with high fluorescence.
