FirstDefender | RMX   

Next Generation Raman Platform
for
Identification of unknown chemicals.

FirstDefender RM and FirstDefender RMX is rugged, handheld Raman Spectrometers for use by first responders, homeland security, military, law enforcement and forensic chemistry personnel. The new instruments Offer Smaller and Lighter Design with Superior Speed, Advanced User Interface and Extensive Chemical Library. 

Weighing about 2 pounds (0.9 kg), the FirstDefender RM and FirstDefender RMX is five times faster, 50% lighter and 40% smaller then the original, Thermo Scientific's flag ship, FirstDefender XL, yet  houses an extensive library of more then 10,000 chemicals. Specific new features include improved detectors and electronics, advanced power options as well as new additions to the enhanced user interface, including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard diamond, spectrum overlay for comparing scanned materials to library items of interest and tabbed library for easier navigation.

FirstDefender RM can be used in point-and-shoot mode or via the integrated vial holder. Booth instrument allows users to quickly identify unknown chemicals from a vast sample library of more then 10,000 pure substances including: explosives, toxic industrial chemicals (TIC's), toxic industrial materials (TIM's), chemical warfare agents (CWA's), white powders, narcotics, precursors and more.

FirstDefender RMX uses the same platform as FirstDefender RM, but extends the point-and-shoot capability with a permanent fixed probe. The instrument can be operated in handheld mode or can be attached to the gripper arm of a tactical robot and connected via an RS232 port. This enables remote operation to provide users with the ability to execute their response mission with a greater level of safety.

Thermo Scientific's advanced chemometric algorithms enable automatic mixture analysis with every scan, and ensure responders can be confident in the accuracy and reliability for results. Both instruments are certified to U.S. military's MIL-STD 810F specification for ruggedness including drop, shock, vibration and operation in extreme temperature or environments.
