Pendar M1 Portable Raman Microscope

Pendar M1 combines the selectivity of Raman spectroscopy with the sensitivity of microscopic analysis in an automated, portable instrument designed for rapid field deployment.

Portable:

• Lightweight: 11 lbs (5 kgs)
• Rugged and reliable
• Rapid setup

Precise:

• 5 μm to 500 μm+ particles
• Trace analysis
• Non-destructive

Automated:

• Particle identification
• Machine vision targeting
• Grid analysis for systematic scanning
• Link Chemical and Biometric Evidence

Pendar M1 is ideal for detecting trace chemicals on surfaces at clandestine labs and sensitive sites, or for contamination detection, illicit drug investigations, and post-blast or arson analysis.

Link Chemical and Biometric Evidence

This instrument uniquely associates fingerprint-based biometric data with chemical evidence. Machine vision precisely locates and identifies particles embedded within fingerprints. In less than one minute, identify explosives, illicit drugs, chemical precursors, skin, or hair residues. Non-destructive Raman analysis preserves samples for subsequent DNA analysis.

Drug Composition

Rapidly analyze tablets, powders, and dispersed substances with greater sensitivity than handheld Raman or FTIR systems. Spatial separation and advanced algorithms facilitate the detailed analysis of complex mixtures, supporting drug attribution efforts.

Explosive Trace Detection

Analyze swabs for explosive residues, effectively detecting chlorates, nitrates, and common homemade explosive (HME) precursors. A specialized contrast algorithm can highlight particles trapped within swab fibers.
