In high-stakes environments where every second matters, having the right intelligence can mean the difference between safety and disaster. While Icon-X is Rigaku's fourth generation in its line of 1064 nm Raman analyzers, it is the first to provide standoff chemical analysis in order to scan potentially dangerous substances from a safe distance. This is critical for military, first responders, EOD, and border protection teams who could potentially be exposed to explosive threats, such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs), homemade explosives (HMEs), and chemical threats. This new feature also reduces the need for time-consuming sample collection, while allowing responders to assess hazards without disrupting the scene.
Users now have the unique ability to scan samples from a distance or scan with contact - providing more versatility in stressful environments.
