Reliable presumptive testing for Fentanyl and Heroin is finally available. There are many colorimetric drug test kits available on the market today and these kits are often used by law enforcement to presumptively identify heroin, fentanyl and other drugs; but, these drug test kits – often based on the Mecke reagent – cannot reliably detect and differentiate heroin and fentanyl; usually these tests require micro grams or more of the material sample to make a presumptive identification.

E.L.I.T.E explosives detection kits are some of the most convenient test kits on the market. Each one is self contained and has a long shelf-life.  Users carry them in shirt pockets.   Though small, the kits each detect a broad range of commercial, military, and home-made explosives. They can detect at trace levels down to single nano gram amounts.     E.L.I.T.E.™ test kits are used by elite military, police, and security services worldwide.

IDEX™ colorimetric test kits are the most convenient single-use kit on the market. Each one is self con-tained, has a long shelf-life, identifies a specific HME precursor – and can be carried in a shirt pocket. For these reasons, E.L.I.T.E.™ test kits are used on battlefields by military EOD teams and by police bomb squads to identify suspected explosives-making chemicals.

Each model in the ULTRA™ series of colorimetric, disposable testers can, in one step, detect AND iden-tify trace or bulk quantities of specific explosives, types of explosives and precursors. Each ULTRA™ is self contained, has a long shelf-life, identifies groups as well as specific HME precursors – and can be carried in a trouser pocket. For these reasons, the ULTRA™ test kits are a top choice for battlefield use by military EOD teams, by police bomb squads for the identification of suspected precursors & chemi-cals used in the making of explosives, and in security screening – vehicles, people and luggage.

This incredibly small Raman handheld analyzer identifies illicit narcotics, controlled drugs, explosives materials, pharmaceutical ingredients and a wide range of unknown substances.  Thousands of compounds are available in FFI’s spectral libraries.  It also analyzes and reports the components of mixtures.

Developed from FFI’s microTLC™, winner of the R&D100 Award for 2014, Spot.On.ID™ analyzes forensic and environmental samples to detect and identify explosives, illicit drugs, insecticides, pesticides and other targets in samples taken from surfaces, liquids and solids – in the laboratory and in the field.  Spot.On.ID™’s simple disposable tests have greater analytical power than colorimetric tests and the samples are non-destructive, allowing additional lab analysis of field samples.

Finally, first responders have a quick and easy way to determine whether a suspicious powder is a likely bio-weapons agent without spending a lot of time (or money). BioScreener™ is a disposable presumptive test that identifies potential threat-agents such as suspicious powders; within approximately 30 seconds, identify whether a substance is a probable bio-weapons agent or just a harmless powder. Collect the sample by simply dabbing the sample tip on the suspect material; analyze the sample by cracking the built-in ampoules and watching for the specified color change. BioScreener™ can eliminate the threat posed by a suspicious powder in seconds. Instead of shutting down an area for hours or days pending results of an analysis, first responders can identify a suspicious powder as a non bio-agent in seconds.

The CN303R is a small bench-top conditioner of Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) fibers. Most SPME users recondition a SPME fiber using a Gas Chromatograph (GC)-inlet port to recondition a SPME fiber, which can tie-up a GC for 30 minutes or more. There’s no need to tie-up an expensive piece of analytical instrumentation with a housekeeping task when the Conditioner 1X™ is available – it’s small, economical and efficient.
