The safety of responders and the community is crucial when examining potentially dangerous materials. First responders, both military and civilian, must be able to recognize unknown solid and liquid substances at a distance, such as explosives, hazardous industrial chemicals, chemical weapons, drugs, precursors, white powders, and more.
When swift and precise chemical identification is required for incident response, the Thermo Scientific™ FirstDefender™ RMX Handheld Chemical Identification Analyzer can be mounted on a tactical robot or used as a handheld instrument. This versatility and increased safety make it an excellent choice.
