Thermo Scientific Gemini FTIR and Raman Spectrometer

Description

Thermo Scientific Gemini FTIR and Raman Spectrometer

Thermo Scientific Gemini FTIR and Raman Spectrometer meets the demanding requirements of elite military and public safety forces, helping operators execute their mission quickly, safely, and accurately. The Gemini analyzer is the world’s only handheld instrument that incorporates both Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies in one unit. These two spectroscopies are complimentary techniques and enhance the ability of a user to identify unknown substances in the field.

The Gemini Chemical Identification Analyzer:

Gold Medal at the 2016 Edison Awards for Excellence in Human-Centered Design and Innovation in the Forensics and Security category
Winner of the Editor’s Choice Award in the Analytical Test category at the 2015 R&D 100 awards, recognizing outstanding innovations across various industries.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing All-Star Innovators Award in “Analytical and Monitoring Devices” Category
Bronze Innovation Award at Europoltech in the Supermodern 2015 Program
“Highly Commended” recognition as part of the ADS Security Innovation Awards 2015 at the Security and Policing Conference in the UK

Complementary and Confirmatory

FTIR and Raman are extremely dependable and specific identification techniques, but they have advantages and disadvantages. By combining the two into a single analyzer, operators can leverage the capabilities of each technology and provide a wider spectrum of chemical identification.

The Scan Assist feature uses a series of simple questions to help new users choose technology. The same interface and workflow across platforms guarantee that operators with experience can easily carry out sampling.

SERS – Low Concentration Analysis

Gemini with LowDose ID may provide low concentration analysis and results for important drugs by combining SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) with the analyzer’s improved hardware and software.

Better, faster decision making

Lightweight and compact, ideal for chemical battalions, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians and other first responders burdened with heavy equipment.
Virtual mixture analysis and interactive problem solving on scene with HazMasterG3.
Includes 24/7 reachback support with access to Ph.D. spectroscopists for spectral analysis and operational inquiries.

Increased confidence in results

Leverages Raman, FTIR and SERS technology to address a broader range of samples than either technique alone.
Identifies unknown solids and liquids, from explosives and chemical warfare agents to industrial chemicals and precursors using a comprehensive onboard library.
Allows for confirmatory analysis and identification with LowDoseID of narcotics in low concentration to address increasing challenges.

Safer operation

Includes a motorized anvil which adjusts sample pressure based on user settings.
Features Raman and FTIR Scan Delay to allow users to leave the hazard zone before initiating a scan.

Easier to use, enhanced efficiency

Guides the operator through technology selection and sampling with Scan Assist.
Customizable Profiles allow the operator to set scan parameters based on the sample, scenario and their situational awareness
Minimizes user error and eliminates subjective user interpretation.
Requires minimal training for proficiency.
