TacticID-GP Used for Department of Defense Simulations

17 Nov 2014

Product news

B&W Tek, Inc., an advanced instrumentation company that delivers lab quality Raman spectroscopy solutions through user-friendly mobile platforms, is pleased to announce that the TaciticID-GP handheld Raman spectrometer has been very well received thus far with military users.

In early November, the TacticID-GP was integrated into a 3 day Department of Defense explosive disposal simulation near Washington D.C. The function of the military simulations was to educate U.S. Explosive Ordinance Disposal soldiers on the latest handheld Raman identification equipment available. Over the 3 day intensive training, elite soldiers used the TacticID-GP in a variety of elaborately simulated, realistic scenarios including remediation of a terrorist -improvised explosives lab, car bomb scenario, toxic industrial chemical spill and more.

With the largest library in the industry of narcotics, pharmaceutical drugs, explosives, hazardous materials, precursors, cutting agents and more, the TacticID-GP is an invaluable tool for all levels of law enforcement and is quickly garnering a reputation in the industry as the ‘king of mixture analysis’. Unlike competitive instruments available, the TacticID-GP features robust chemometric mixture analysis capable of delivering up to 10 components of a mixed street sample.

The TacticID-GP has been very well received thus far with military users who appreciate the ease of use, extensive on-board and customizable libraries and best-in-class complex mixture analysis results. B&W Tek continues to make strides with global military forces, law enforcement, hazmat teams, bomb squads and more. We are honored and proud to contribute to the ongoing war against terror, not only in the U.S. but around the world.

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available. Find the best Raman spectroscopy products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Evidence Collection and AnalysisEvidence Collection and Analysis is the retrieval and subsequent investigation into criminal evidence obtained from a crime scene. Forensic genetic instruments, kits and reagents enable the analysis of evidence collected  at the crime scene. Reagents and kits for presumptive analysis for body fluids such as blood, saliva and semen in addition to drugs and narcotics test kits are used for CSI. Fingerprinting equipment, forensic light sources, casting kits and equipment for collecting recoverable materials can be found in the directory.Toxicology / Drugs of Abuse TestingToxicology and Drugs of Abuse Testing is the investigation into toxic and illegal substances found at the scene of a crime or from a suspect and / or victim associated with a scene of a crime. Analyzers, immunoassays and drugs of abuse test kits and presumptive test kits are an essential aspect of toxicology investigation.Forensic ToxicologyForensic toxicology is used to determine cause of death, drug use and contaminations. Toxicological evaluations are commonly used in analytical chemistry, clinical, life sciences and forensics.
