The Resolve handheld Raman analyzer works through opaque barriers
Resolve Handheld Raman Analyzer for Through-Barrier Chemical Identification
Resolves through-barrier handheld Raman capability enables safer operation by removing the need to open containers. Hazards remain contained and evidence is more easily preserved, allowing first responders to identify container contents early in an operation, prior to escalation. A portable Raman analyzer built to withstand tough user environments, Resolve is deployed in hazmat response, EOD, CBRN, law enforcement (including fentanyl detection), and for parcel screening at customs, ports, and borders.

Early identification of potentially hazardous objects is important for the safety, efficiency and critical decision making involved in hazmat incident management, first response, EOD (explosive ordinance disposal), law enforcement, and screening at ports and borders. A new capability, handheld through-barrier Raman identification enables operators to positively identify hazardous materials through opaque barriers. Removing the need to open or disturb containers means hazards are contained, reducing the risk to operators and the public. Objects can be examined quickly and efficiently meaning less time spent in protective gear. Evidence can be more easily preserved, and better informed critical decisions can be made earlier in a hazardous response operation.
Chemical Warfare Agents
Protecting people and facilities from the vast array of compounds used as chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is a significant and important challenge. The complexity of matrices and the sheer number of substances that must be identified demands precise and reliable monitoring methods that deliver actionable data quickly.
Agilent provides a full suite of efficient sample preparation solutions and proven, high-precision GC, GC/MS, LC, LC/MS and ICP-MS analysis systems for the screening of toxic, non-toxic and degradation products and compounds. Powerful data processing and library searching tools for CWAs are also incorporated and help to provide legally defensible outputs.
Disaster responses need robust mobile measurement solutions that deliver actionable output quickly in challenging conditions. In addition, analytical systems are also employed effectively in monitoring the destruction of chemical weapon stockpiles that is being carried out worldwide in agreement with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
Toxic Industrial Chemicals
A large volume of toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) and toxic industrial material (TIM) is stored and transported around the country every year, and the hazardous effects resulting from sabotage or accidents are potentially very significant. Adequate monitoring to ensure protection is required, but detecting and identifying TICs presents challenges to analysts due to the abundance of different compounds present in solid, liquid and gaseous states, and the complex matrices in which they are found.
By providing access to comprehensive compound databases, addressing the full spectrum of TICs, and advanced selectivity methods in difficult matrices, Agilent is at the forefront of TIC security. Our leading technologies across the analytical workflow enable users to gain actionable results quickly, and our range of rugged and robust mobile measurement solutions provide protection in the field, such as in emergency responses or at remediation sites.
