EnSpectr L405® sets new records at blue-violet wavelengths. It is a unique luminescent analyzer that combines highest resolution and superior sensitiv...
Drug addiction has reached epidemic levels across the globe with approximately 250 million drug users worldwide and narcotic traffic keeps increasing. Law enforcement agencies have to search for new and reliable tools of counteraction against narcotics distribution. Every year a new type of drug is developed: the range of wide-spread narcotics like methamphetamines, heroin and cocaine, has been supplemented with new MDMA (ecstasy) and designer drugs (synthetic cathinones).
Instant in-field analysis
Enhanced Spectrometry solutions are designed to meet the needs of law enforcement agencies and contribute to control of narcotics distribution. RaPort, a portable Raman handheld spectrometer, enables quick and precise identification of all major groups of drugs (except herbals) securing instant result and immediate reaction. The embedded spectral library of RaPort contains dozens of narcotics including methamphetamines, synthetic cathinones, other narcotics and their precursors.
Within a few seconds RaPort scans narcotic substances in form of liquids, powders, gels, tablets and capsules and instantly identifies their content without destroying the package and avoiding direct contact. Due to RaPort superb sensitivity the laser power of 12 mW is perfectly sufficient to rapidly acquire a high quality spectrum from a single piece of substance. Up to 6 hours of autonomous operation make the instrument highly recommended for in-field analysis.
Hidden narcotics: Analysis of residues
EnSpectr software supports the unique function of the Search match mode: continuously measuring substance, a specific drug. RaPort identifies pieces of substance at a concentration as low as 1%. Raman Microscope RamMics enables even more accurate identification of component concentration, and below 1%, with MixSplitter technology. The MixSplitter complex analyzes each mixture grain and numerically characterizes each mixture component.
Meeting GMP EU requirements. According to the GMP standards, it is necessary for pharmaceutical companies to use “effective monitoring and control systems for process performance and product quality” and ensure that “medicinal products are stored, distributed and subsequently handled so that quality is maintained throughout their shelf life” which implies:
- New deliveries quality checks,
- Stated substances quality confirmation,
- Component control checks before mixing with new deliveries, etc.
The EnSpectr top product for pharmaceutical field, handheld Raman spectrometer RaPort, proves to be an efficient easy-to-use solution for pharmaceutical field providing quick measurements and accurate substance identification in less than 3 seconds.
