First Response Chemical Identifier

Used by hundreds of HazMat teams, Weapons of Mass Destruction inspectors, Police & Fire officers and Chemical Engineers worldwide the TravelIR from SensIR Technologies has become a defacto standard item of equipment for first response chemical identification.

The new TravelIR Hazardous Chemical Identifier (HCI) uses the latest portable FT-IR technology to measure how chemical samples interact with infrared light. In just seconds the TravelIR HCI provides certain identification of unknown chemical substances at the site of their discovery. The highly versatile system rapidly analyses liquids, powders, pastes and gels without sample preparation and compares the results against SensIR's proprietary libraries to provide the identity of the unknown. Cleaning the TravelIR HCI between samples is as simple as a wipe with acetone for non-hazardous products or a bleach solution for biological agents.

The TravelIR HCI is both compact and light, a portable battery pack is included so you can take the system wherever needed. Purpose designed for first responders operating at the site of discovery the rugged TravelIR HCI is truly simple to use. Intuitive software guides the operator through every step of the process to ensure an accurate result every time.

Typical applications for the TravelIR HCI include identifying liquid spills in road accidents, classifying unmarked chemicals at clandestine labs, identifying unknown powders in businesses or offices, verifying chemicals being carried in trucks or ships and determining what compounds are of biological or non-biological origin.
