How long does a typical detection take?
With RS DYNAMICS’ explosives trace detection systems, typical analysis and identification take just a few seconds after sample collection. The
Read moreHow sensitive are ETD devices?
ETD devices are extremely sensitive, capable of detecting trace amounts in the nanogram or even picogram range. This means that
Read moreWhat types of explosives can be detected?
Modern ETD systems can detect a wide range of commercial, military, and homemade explosives, including but not limited to: RS
Read moreHow does ETD work?
ETD typically involves collecting a sample (e.g. by swabbing a surface) and analyzing it using advanced and highle sensitive technologies
Read moreWhat is explosive trace detection (ETD)?
Explosive trace detection refers to the process of identifying microscopic residues or vapors of explosive materials. ETD systems detect either
Read moreCan Raman spectroscopy analyze mixtures?
Yes, Raman spectroscopy can analyze mixtures even if interpretation may become more complex. The resulting spectrum often contains overlapping peaks
Read moreCan Raman spectroscopy identify unknown substances?
Yes, Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool for material identification, especially when combined with a spectral library. When you measure
Read moreWhen should I choose a 785 nm Raman system and when a 1064 nm system?
Choosing between a 785 nm and 1064 nm Raman spectrometer depends mainly on fluorescence sensitivity, sample type, and application needs.
Read moreWhat is fluorescence and how does it affect Raman spectroscopy?
Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. In the context
