Portable Narcotics Spectrometer for Law Enforcement.

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR spectroscopy) is a method employed to examine the chemical makeup of diverse substances, including drugs and explosives. This technique functions by measuring the absorption and reflection of near-infrared light by the material under scrutiny. The interaction of this light with the molecules in the substance induces vibrations specific to distinct chemical bonds and structures. Through analyzing these vibrations, NIR spectroscopy can identify and quantify various compounds within a given substance.

Given its non-destructive, swift, and adaptable characteristics, NIR spectroscopy emerges as an optimal instrument for drug and explosive detection and verification, particularly in field conditions where expeditious and precise outcomes are imperative for safety and law enforcement purposes.

NIRLAB technology is currently employed by law enforcement agencies for drug identification purposes in various countries around the world. Some of the countries where our technology is in use include Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Iceland, France, Italy, Mauritius, Australia, several Eastern European countries, and more. With a robust presence in the market for over 5 years, we are proud to supply our advanced solutions to law enforcement agencies, customs and border control, police departments, and drug enforcement agencies in more than 35 countries, contributing to global efforts in combating illicit substances.

Absolutely, the portable narcotics scanner (NIRLIGHT) is specifically designed for field use, offering law enforcement officers the flexibility to perform on-the-spot drug analyses. Its effectiveness remains consistent in various environmental conditions, ensuring reliable results regardless of the setting. Moreover, the device is engineered to be water and dust-resistant with IP65 and IP67 ratings. This, provides robust protection against external elements.

Yes, the NIRLIGHT is exceptionally user-friendly and designed for ease of use in the field. The software is intuitive, requiring no additional training for law enforcement officers. It operates as a point-and-click solution, simplifying the drug identification process. In terms of safety, NIRLAB technology is secure for users, as the hand device complies with industry standards and emits only non-ionizing radiation, ensuring no harm to officers or individuals undergoing testing. Additionally, the device is capable of scanning through glass and plastic bags, eliminating the need for law enforcement agents to come into direct contact with illicit substances. This feature enhances safety protocols and allows for efficient substance analysis without compromising officer well-being.

The portable spectrometer is capable of recognizing more than 150 substances, encompassing prominent illicit drugs such as cocaine, heroin, MDMA, methamphetamine, and ketamine. Additionally, it can detect new psychoactive substances (NPS), cutting agents, and precursors and explosives such as Ammonium Nitrate, TNT, ANFO, RDX and more. This device facilitates the analysis of substances and mixtures in diverse forms, including powders, pills, liquids, or botanicals (e.g., cannabis).

Our constantly evolving database incorporates newly identified substances, ensuring immediate accessibility for all users. For a comprehensive list of substances, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
