Defender™ Omega Handheld Raman Analyzer

Customs, military and law enforcement personnel can’t always predict what they’ll come across in the field. The Defender Omega analyzer is a reliable handheld tool that can help users identify compounds used to make explosives, nerve agents, narcotics, and other chemicals. This analyzer has all the key elements for essential chemical ID where security and safety professionals need it most:

User safety

• Touchless, point and shoot scanning through transparent glass or plastic reduces the need for users to handle unknown substances
• Instructive results deliver an alarm, warning or clear indication to help users quickly determine what action to take

Accuracy

• Patented chemometric algorithms are more reliable for chemical identification, particularly for multicomponent mixtures and spectrally complex samples
• Background fluorescence is suppressed to help users confidently identify substances from clear spectral fingerprints using 1064 nm optics

User flexibility

• The large touchscreen and illuminated keypad allow users to easily enter information, even in low-light situations
• 2 different scan modes (ID or Screener) enable users of all levels to make fast decisions
• Flexibility to support user-created libraries to adapt to evolving threats

Comprehensive libraries

• Expandable libraries help identify explosives, chemical warfare agents, controlled substances, cutting agents, precursors and industrial chemicals
• Customizable libraries allow users to identify targeted materials
• Ongoing library updates help users stay current with emerging threats

Solid chain of custody

• GPS and digital camera enable time and location stamping 
• Unique user ID and password ensures data stays locked and safe
• User-generated metadata for fast, easy search of previous measurements
• Instrument logs to keep track of who scanned what substances and when
