Providing a revolutionary new capability in handheld detection, Agilent's Resolve™ enables rapid detection and identification of explosives, narcotics , hazardous materials, counterfeits, dairy, fuels, etc... through sealed, opaque containers

OVERVIEW

A New Capability for Hazmat, EOD and Law Enforcement

Resolve is the world’s only handheld Raman system for true through-barrier identification of hazardous or contraband materials. Resolve rapidly detects and identifies materials from comprehensive libraries, with Agilent’s unique handheld SORS™ technology enabling positive identification through a wide range of sealed non-metallic containers, barriers and packaging.

Enabling Faster, Safer Critical Decision-Making

Resolve’s through-barrier capability removes the need to open containers - hazards remain contained & evidence is preserved - enabling response teams to identify container contents early in an operation, prior to escalation. This allows information about the situation to be gathered quickly and efficiently enabling better critical decision making.

Safe - No need to open or disturb containers
Fast - Accurate ID of chemicals and mixtures in about 1 minute (or less in some modes of operation), with no sample preparation or consumables
Rugged - Built to withstand tough user environments
User-friendly - Large buttons, simple interface, designed for use in protective gear

True Through-Barrier Detection & Identification

Resolve differs from conventional handheld Raman ID systems, which are typically limited to line-of-sight measurements. Resolve can detect through coloured and opaque plastic & glass, paper, cardboard, sacks and fabrics.

Resolve identifies hazardous chemicals, explosives and narcotics through opaque barriers, including coloured plastics

Flexible On-board Libraries

Configure your own libraries:

Explosives and precursors
Hazardous and toxic materials
Chemical agents
Narcotics & new psychoactive substances
Household products and less commonly-used chemicals
Create and deploy your own libraries

OPERATION MODES

Through-Barrier Mode:

Identifies through non-metallic, sealed containers such as coloured and opaque plastics, glass, paper, wrapping, sacks and fabrics.

Surface Scan Mode:

Line-of-sight measurements, similar to conventional Raman ID systems. Analyse surfaces, exposed materials and samples in clear glass vials or clear plastic bags.

Vial Holder Mode:

Quickly identifies materials contained within glass vials in a custom holder.

Non-Contact Mode

Resolve can be used for either through-barrier or surface scan measurements (16mm from the container or sample), by removing the nose cone and using 'non-contact' mode.

Measurement

Choose a container type and Resolve chooses between through-barrier, surface scan or vial holder modes. Operators can reduce laser power and set a scan delay where necessary.

Results

Display results as BEST match only, ALL results, user-defined PRIORITIES only or 2 & 3 component CLUSTERS only.

Analysis

Interrogate any result to see spectral views and simple, user-friendly chemical data.

HARDWARE & SOFTWARE

Built to Withstand Tough Environments

Resolve combines a tough handheld unit with a simple, user-friendly interface. Ruggedized and hardened, the system is built to withstand harsh environments and usage scenarios. The software interface is extremely simple to use and requires only 7 large buttons, which are ideal for gloved use (in all forms of protective gear).

Resolve Hardware Features

Removable nose cone for contact and non-contact scan modes. In-field calibration and performance check is built into a protective nose cap
Large 4.7 inch display - clear, high contrast graphics for use in all light conditions
Large buttons with positive feedback - designed for gloved use
Li ion battery pack for approx. 4 hours continuous use

COMMAND™

Resolve systems are centrally managed using Agilent's Command software. Command allows operational managers to:

Manage passwords and default system settings
Create, manage and deploy libraries
Centrally store and analyse scan data
Manage Resolve software updates
