Portable Raman spectrometer
FirstGuard™ ART

FirstGuard™ is part of a new breed of handheld instrumentation, designed to be taken into the warehouse - or out the field - for real-time, fast sample identification. Equipped with an integrated vial holder, switchable lithium ion battery, and optional barcode/RFID reader, the FirstGuard is ideal for GMP facilities and can be configured with secure software for 21 CRF Part 11 compliance.
Long battery life for extended field deployment

Unlike most sample analysis techniques, there is no sample preparation needed for FirstGuard. It can penetrate plastic bags or clear/amber-colored glass bottles while not altering or destroying the sample, thus maintaining sample integrity. The FirstGuard is designed from the ground up for field use, with an active trigger built into an easy to grip handle. Extended battery life (>4 hours) allows continuous, uninterrupted work in the field.
