Handheld Narcotics Analyzer

Replace more subjective presumptive field tests

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Fremont, Calif, introduces Thermo Scientific TruNarc®, a handheld narcotics analyzer. TruNarc can replace more subjective presumptive field tests (color tests) used by law enforcement for decades. The TruNarc’s core technology, Raman spectroscopy, puts a laboratory analyzer in the hands of local law enforcement, providing more accurate and reliable field testing that expedites prosecution. Users of TruNarc can not only accurately test liquid and solid samples for common narcotics such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and MDMA (ecstasy), they will also be able to identify new threats, such as the synthetic cathinones found in bath salts, as the reference library in their analyzer can be quickly and easily updated to include new substances. Results are automatically date-stamped and stored for future prosecution.
