Metrohm is proud to introduce the new TacticID-1064 ST, an innovative device for material identification using see-through Raman technology. 1064 nm laser technology combines with dedicated sampling accessories and advanced data algorithms to analyze substances through many containers. By quickly separating the signature of the container from its contents, the Metrohm TacticID-1064 ST delivers accurate results and reduces operator exposure to potentially harmful materials.
Designed for optimized and efficient measurements, the TacticID-1064 ST is compact and user-friendly – eliminating the need to set up complicated methods. An innovative accessory recognition feature ensures seamless operation and minimizes operator training. This handheld device provides reliable results at the sample contact point, guaranteeing faster outcomes, reduced downtime, and heightened confidence in the material identification process.
Chemical identification in quality control, forensics, hazmat, and customs checkpoints demands precise material identification. With its extensive Raman library and onboard guides, the TacticID-1074 ST is designed to handle a wide range of substances during an extended shift or at the site of a dangerous chemical spill. It delivers accurate results when it matters most.
