When you call a rapid response team to a potential hazardous or toxic substance contamination situation, the first question you will be asked is, “What substance are we talking about?” The HazMatID handheld instrument can answer that question in seconds.

HazMatID is a highly specialized instrument that analyzes the interaction of chemical samples with infrared radiation. Each chemical has a unique infrared spectrum, which allows HazMatID to identify the chemical by comparing the results to a database in less than 20 seconds.

The database includes:

WMD - Nerve and Blister Agents
Toxic Industrial Chemicals
White Powders
Explosives and Fuels
WMD Precursors
Common Chemicals
Forensic Medicines and Clan Lab Precursors
Pesticides
