Hand-held drug detector SIM HH Raman PRO II for the Border Guard

The SIM HH Raman PRO II compact hand-held drug detector of hazardous substances is an effective way for quick expertise in the field. The device recognizes and analyzes substances in liquid, powder or gel, among others, without having to open the container. The portable design, lightning-fast detection time and low error rate add up to an effective tool for combating contraband at border crossings.

The SIM HH Raman PRO II is a handheld detector for explosives, drugs and other hazardous substances in liquid, powder, gel or solid form. The device uses laser technology based on the Raman spectroscopy method. The advanced technology, combined with an extensive database, enables non-contact identification of samples stored in sealed glass or transparent plastic containers. After scanning, the sample is compared with a standard from an internal database. In this way, the device can identify:

• explosives in liquid and solid form
• drugs
• drug precursors
• hazardous chemicals

With its fast testing time, simple operation and portable design, the SIM HH Raman PRO II drug detector serves as a portable laboratory that can be used by Border Patrol officers during routine inspections. It will also prove useful in the hands of law enforcement agencies to combat drug smuggling and trafficking.

How does Raman spectroscopy work?

The technology takes advantage of a phenomenon called the Raman Effect. It uses the scattering of the world to acquire data on the structure of a molecule, leading to the identification of a chemical compound. The method is fast, efficient and safe, making Raman spectroscopes widely used at airports, courts, prisons and border crossings, among others.

Key features of the SIM HH Raman PRO II hand-held drug detector

• 

  Laser analysis

  The SIM HH Raman PRO II uses laser analysis and Raman spectroscopy technology. This makes it possible to locate and analyze a chemical substance without opening the container (the package must be transparent and made of glass or plastic).

• 

  Safety

  Using the SIM HH Raman PRO II spectroscope does not expose the operator to direct contact with the substance under test. This translates into a high degree of operational safety and nullifies the risk of sample damage.

• 

  Extensive database

  The built-in database contains more than 7,000 different chemicals that can be identified in solid, liquid, powder or gel form. The user can expand the catalog with new items for even greater efficiency.

• 

  NFPA 704 classification

  After analysis, the user will receive information on the classification of compliance with the NFPA 704 standard. This allows easy assessment of the risks associated with the substance under test (for example, determining its flammability or instability).

• 

  Different operating modes

  The drug detector can perform a quick scan or perform a precise sample analysis.

• 

  Report generation

  Measurement results are automatically exported as PD files ready for later printing.

• 

  Simple operation

  The device has a simple, intuitive menu and an easy-to-read touchscreen display. No lengthy training is required to operate it.

• 

  Wireless connectivity

  The disagnostic test can be started remotely via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

• 

  Self-diagnostics

  This function is responsible for obtaining the most accurate measurement results each time and minimizing the risk of error.

• 

  Long operating time

  The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 8 h of operation on a single charge.

• 

  Transport box

  The device is supplied in a sturdy crate where it can be stored and transported without risk of damage.

• 

  IP65 protection class

  The laser drug detector is suitable for demanding field work. It has a housing resistant to moisture, dust and mechanical damage.
