The Resolve handheld Raman analyzer works through opaque barriers
Resolve Handheld Raman Analyzer for Chemical Identification
Providing a revolutionary new capability in hazardous chemical identification and incident response, the Resolve handheld Raman analyzer enables rapid identification of explosives, narcotics, toxic industrial chemicals, chemical warfare agents, and other materials through sealed, opaque containers. The system identifies materials from comprehensive libraries, with Agilent's unique handheld SORS technology enabling positive chemical identification through a wide range of sealed nonmetallic containers, barriers, and packaging.
Resolve’s through-barrier handheld Raman capability enables safer operation by removing the need to open containers. Hazards remain confined and evidence is more easily preserved, allowing first responders to identify substances 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, and for parcel screening at customs, ports, and borders.

Product Details
Features
- Chemical identification through colored and opaque plastics, dark glass, paper, cardboard, sacks, and fabrics.
- Analysis of solids, powders, liquids and mixtures in approximately 1 minute, with no sample preparation or consumables.
- Handheld Raman analyzer built to withstand tough user environments. Large buttons and a simple interface, designed for use in protective gear.
- Hazardous materials are kept contained—no need to open or disturb objects—and the risk of exposure to hazardous materials is reduced.
- The risk of igniting sensitive explosives is significantly reduced, thanks to the unique SORS optical technology.
- Remote control for high-risk operations available through removable WiFi connectivity.
- Flexible onboard libraries: explosives and precursors, hazardous and toxic materials, chemical warfare agents, narcotics and new psychoactive substances (NPS), household products, and less commonly-used chemicals.
- Customer libraries can be created and deployed using Command fleet management software.
- Reachback service available for spectroscopic support by our expert team.
