Official Description

The Department of Defense has fielded several handheld Raman detectors over the past 15 years to support specialized chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) units across the services and Special Operations forces. These detectors typically contain very large libraries (in the thousands) of solid and liquid chemicals (including toxins, as chemicals of biological origin) that are identifiable with the device. However, these devices typically require a “bulk” amount of liquid or soli...
