Rigaku ResQ CQL is a chemical detection system that uses Raman spectroscopy to identify unknown compounds. The device offers first responders, border protection, and law enforcement an advanced method for identifying potential threats.

The ResQ CQL analyses powders, liquids, gels and mixtures which includes explosives, chemical warfare agents (CWAs) precursors, hazardous chemicals, narcotics, cutting agents, pesticides, steroids and more. In fact, over 13,000 Raman-active chemicals are standard on the ResQ CQL.

Users can expect reliable results in less than a minute – every time! The ResQ CQL was designed for rugged use in mission critical environments including during the use of wearing hazmat suits and explosive ordnance device(EOD) suits. In addition to the hour glass like form, the oversized tactile buttons and bright screen improve functionality, particularly in high stress these environments. Other use opportunities include mounting to robotic vehicles i.e. UGVs and drones.
