Hazardous Materials and Toxic Chemicals Identification
Improve HAZMAT response with portable analysis in the danger zone
Safe and proper disposal of hazardous materials is a growing concern for communities around the globe. Hazmat technicians, firefighters and incident commanders need to quickly analyze and identify the contents of unlabeled spilled material and illegally dumped drums. Increasingly complex industrial processes introduce new toxic chemicals that require special disposal and waste treatment facilities that need to test and verify the products they receive.
Traditional hazmat analysis at a remote laboratory adds time and expense to the remediation process. Thermo Scientific Defender Omega, Thermo Scientific FirstDefender and Thermo Scientific TruDefender handheld analyzers harness the power of Raman or FTIR spectroscopy to quickly verify the contents of drums, bags, bottles and more directly in the hazard zone.
Building on the industry-proven success of the FirstDefender and TruDefender instruments, Thermo Fisher Scientific now offers the Thermo Scientific Gemini analyzer, the first chemical identification tool to provide both FTIR and Raman technology in a single portable solution. The Gemini analyzer evaluates a broader range of sample types for more comprehensive results, helping responders keep themselves – and their community – safer.
